Rover 75 260

[SCP440]

My guess he paid high teens for it as that is what they were selling for a couple of years after the collapse. I agree it needs preserving but even if you did and put it away for 20 years it would probably have a similar value to a SD1 Vitesse if the same had happened to one of those so not a great investment.

At the end of the day there is a very limited market for these cars as a lot of people don't even know they exist, even less people have the spare cash to buy one costing more than twice what a used one would cost and even less again who are willing to buy it and them put it away unused.

I think my 260 is a great car but if I had a spare £25k would I buy it? No I can think of a lot of other cars on my bucket list that I would rather have.

Maybe Beaulieu or Gaydon should have look after it? At least it would show the public they exist.

Do we know the VIN of the car, incidentally?

I've moved the discussion on supercharging auto box cars to a separate thread:

and made it a 'sticky'

Gayton will not be interested, we were in discussions with them a few years ago with the 'Geneva' 75, Tom the owner at the time wanted to keep it but was not using it. Tom was happy to pay to get it to them etc but they said it was not of interest. They had the first and last.

Maybe Beaulieu or Gaydon should have look after it? At least it would show the public they exist.

Offered the ZT520 to Gaydon but they did not want it.
