    Default INSPECTION of CAR for SALE

    Hi All,
    I've been a follower of the Two Sixties for a few years and was close to buying a ZT 260 in 2007 but a move back to the Middle East (construction not fighting wars) put a stop to that.
    Tim Hayton was very helpful at that time and I've been in touch with him recently regarding a potential purchase.

    I'll be returning to UK in near future and have been looking for a suitable V8 for a while now - have wavered between ZT and 75 but 75 is getting my vote (must be my age!) even though I love the ZT's exhaust sound and sportier looks.

    Have been in contact with a 75 V8 owner who is now looking to sell.
    I'm looking for a recommendation for a company/engineer to carry out an inspection on a 75 V8
    I've had inspections done by AA, RAC and independent engineers in the past on cars but I think the 75 (or 260) needs an engineer or company which has the specialist knowledge of these cars.
    Car is in Leeds and I'll be extremely grateful for recommendations.
    I've asked the owner about the heater hose and valve and the fuel clip which I know are problems on the car.
    Am waiting for this info and details of car's service history including info on usual replacement items - discs/pads, exhaust etc
    If any Two Sixties member in the area could spare some time to look the car over I'll be very grateful - am aware of members' enthusiasm for the cars and their willingness to assist newcomers in viewings

    Thanks in anticipation

    Linden Cahill is in Huddersfield and very familiar with the V8's (owns one and has a MoT station/workshop)
    Done work for various members and always got the thumbs up for the quality.
