Looking for a MG 260 Cash Buyer

[Silver One]

.

Oh, food for thought..... (and YES I am looking into it, but keeping an open mind if others crop up)

Hmmm.. by the looks of it this one is owned by 'travelling folk' so make sure the V5 matches up before you part with readies

Good price though....

Hmmmm........hmmmmm. Strange aerial, no V8 wing badge(s), drivers seat looks chewed (but may be the photo). Not one I would travel for without a lot more info.

Meant to ask.....

Strange question, but what colour are the instrument dials lit on the 260?

[Flying Silver]

I think they`re blue backlit on the facelift, not so sure about pre facelift..

[Charlie]

Thanks.

Leaning toward the Mk1, like the front end styling, more "MG like" in my eyes.

Off to Devon next week, may take the trailer just incase anything gets listed on Ebay/Pistonheads.Autotrader (Most probably just to wind up the Mrs!)

Mk1 instruments are illuminated white. As Nich said that drivers seat looks chewed probably because it's so far forward going by the space behind it. The driver must be about 4'6" !!! Can I see holes in the grille mesh?

drivers bolster is definately chewed Nich you can see the edges and the foam

if memory serves correct (this was for sale when I was looking for mine) this was an ex-medical / ambulance car. There were some problems with the wiring in the car internally. Also the satnav didnt work - and i dont think it was the usual shutting down issue - so may not have been easily solvable. Should check if this is now fixed.
Car was on pistonheads aprox 8-12 months ago for £5,000, i think in the cambridge area. Seemed very cheap at the time - but there were reasons. It seems to have done hardly any miles in the meantime.
Could be a good cheap car, but tread carefuly....

From what year is the road tax silly on the 260?

Non SE, but year is an issue (I already line the dictators pockets enough at the pumps!

not sure of the answer but mine was £210 on a 54 plate. Band F when I bought it as some sort of age consession as it would have been band G as a new car because of the emissions
