    Welcome to the best place to be (well as far as 260's are concerned)

    Austin Garages come highly recommended if you are OK to travel a bit

    Well done Ken and welcome. I got round the waiting problem by driving it home 1 hour after turning up to view it
    There is something special about these cars and that feeling hasn't diminished after 1 1/2 years of ownership.
