    Default Anyone know this car (VIN unknown...)?

    Hey folks,

    I've had this 260 in sight for quite some time now, looks like it's fully loaded (can't tell if it has powerfolds or Harman Kardon but looks otherwise complete), anyone know its history, VIN, and so on...?

    Thanks

    VIN #0569 is reg no. 18 PJ BD
    VIN #0590 is reg no. 20 PJ BD

    so reg no. 17 PJ BD I would assume is, as Colin says pre 0569.

    hey Ton

    would you happen to know a bit more about it? i mean, why would it be on sale for such a long time considering the pricing is not that excessive?

    It says in the description further down the page 'Blijf sparen , de prijs vanaf nu is omhoog gegaan !!!'

    Translated, Keep saving, the price has gone up as of now

    So I guess it's not a valid price anymore, or a starting price to get interest.
    Also road tax in the Netherlands is between €85 -€100 a month depending province you live in.
    That combined with the petrol prices makes it an expensive car to run in the Netherlands
