New Member saying Hello

[pider100]

Hello and welcome. I've got the Zeros as well, and love the noise, although I've never heard the x-powers or any others in the flesh to compare them. I've only ever seen one other 260 in my life in fact!!

Thanks for the replies, Is it possible I could be sent the form again as I cant find it in my E-mails. Checked my Chassis no and the last three digits are 002... Dont know whether to be elated or worried! Does this mean it is the second car off the line? but It is the facelifted model on an 06 plate so what is going on? Checked for any bad history and there is none..

Any help much apreciated..

Yes a specal car. I'm guessing that you bought it from Eddie Wright - I went to look at it a few months ago. Car was in superb condition. Sold by Hartwells in 06, I believe, but originally built in 02.
Welcome!

Extract from my original thread:

"I went to see this on Tuesday as I was in the area, well Doncaster anyway!

It is definitely 002. Like 003, it still has Prodrive labels and it also has a chassis plate with no details of paint/trim codes.

The garage has had the car since August 2008, indeed it is now registered in their name and in total has had five owners - the previous one owning it for just one week! I'm guessing that this might have had something to do with the car's quirkiness and all this since Hartwells sold it 'new' in 2006. The salesman told me that when he joined two years ago, 002 was parked outside but it is now in the showroom. He seemed unaware that this 06 car was actually built in 2002.

On the plus side the car is in near immaculate condition, albeit a facelift on the outside (except for bullet mirrors, straights wheels and bootlid) and a Mark One on the inside, aside from a technical grey gear lever trip panel, which is loose. It has full leather with heated, but manual seats. I also noted that the engine dipstick is in an odd place and it has a rear anti-roll bar. 19,600 is the recorded mileage.

The car is now priced at £7999 (a pound off) and this is what they want for it - not a bean less. Apparently the boss is a car enthusiast and if it doesn't sell, then he is not bothered. I did not have £7999 so, in News Of The World speak, I made my excuses and left. "

as people say, its not a 2006 car, and as number 002, there will be some unique items no doubt.

Good luck

Wow! Well it turns out you've got a piece of autorama history. Lucky man. Look after her and melt some rubber. :-)

[Roadsterstu]

Welcome! What a unique car, with an interesting history. Would be worth a specialist insurance policy, such as a classic policy, with an agreed value. Plenty of info on here on that and all sorts of other things. Please post some pics, too!

Sorry have not been on for a while I have been away. I will send you my E-mail address now colin. I am really pleased that It is 002! I will post some pictures of it soon. So my plans at the moment are to upgrade the exhausts to the X-powers I have decided these are the ones for me. I looked at the sound of the quads and the lower end is where I need the sound. Paint needs touching up in a few places and I will we changing all the fluids shortly.
I was going to use mobil 1 for the engine what grade of oil is best? but does anybody have any recomendations concering the gearbox oil an diff?
Thanks all for your input and advice regarding the car. Really cleared things up for me.
