    Default 260 for sale in Germany, a bit of a mystery?

    This black ZT260 recently advertised in Germany is rather strange, in the sense that it shouldn't exist if the description is accurate.

    Car is described on eBay and mobile.de as 'black metallic', '260 SE' and Alcantara/black trim. Photos show Gunsmoke/Black, and the car looks to be "SE", so no problems so far. Car first registered in May 2004.
    ... but only 12 LHD Mk2 ZT 260 SEs were ever made in black (even if you include Black Olive and the non-metallic Raven). Only one had the trim shown, #736, and that wasn't built until September 2004, in fact only 1 LHD Mk2 ZT 260SE was even made before June 2004, #535 in PBT, destined for France and built on May 20th., and the trim is still wrong (Sports PPH Black). Obviously a fault in the owner's description or the MGR database (wouldn't be the first) ... or it has been totally resprayed/re-trimmed!

    I have asked the seller twice for more information by email, but in English, and received no response. Can a German or good German speaking Member maybe try to find out the VIN please? I only want it to update the Forum's data, for completeness sake. Thanks!
