tourer popped up on ebay

[Keith]

Hell yes at the right price and I tried to once before!
however I have another one to look at on sunday and the auction of this car finishes at the wrong time for me to consider biding.

I have just had another message from the seller I get the impresion the car is pretty much exactly as it was when I first looked at it.

I am told the Sat nav still missing etc.

I have sent the link to this thread

I suggested she (I think) register here and put up a proper for sale thread or coment here.
I think the limited info provided on the ebay add is asking for trouble as it gives a winning 'uninformed' bidder the abiltiy to walk away "item not as described" and all that.

Scarlet mentioned on the early cars they had black gear shift surrounds and sure enough so it appears does this one

Definately a bit of history to be discovered about it isn't there.

Sent an email asking about colour change, odd spec, history etc - copy of reply from seller -

"you are correct on all points, only found out history in last 4 days of advertising, after 3 years of ownership".

i cant believe he didnt know the car had been completely repainted as its still registered as green not black and has green panels underneath

regards

well within the half spare wheel well I think all the 260s are an odd colour anyway

Here'sthe interior boot colour from my previous Pearl Black 260
Chances are this tourer is the same

When I looked at I couldn't get the bonnet open so no idea what colour the inner wings were I picked up on the Le mans green because it was showing on various bolts etc around the door shuts and later on XPF I think it was mentioned the car was originally that colour but what if that info was wrong?

What if the bolts were a different colour to make taking the car apart easier if it was a pre production practice car or similar





No doubt once sold the new owner will crop up here and all may become clearer or we will be having the same discussion in another couple of years

yours was a wierd 'un, your battery is the wong way round !!

thinking about it- wonder whether that was a project drive initiative, not painting inside the boot- mine is a mark 1 and has the topcoat in the boot. That being the case if the tourer was an early car ( and not a painted "body in white" car, then the boot floor shouls be le mans green unless they have hearse blacked it

Really! I never knew that the cables don't seem long enough to turn it around though so it must have been built like it.

My old car was one of those odd spec ones Apex wheels, Sunroof and OBC without the stalk.

Note the lack of cables as that picture was half way through installing the Sat Nav system for the Howto I did.
