Thanks to everyone for the advice, and also for welcoming me to the forum, despite not being a full member yet. This has only made me even more determined to acquire the elusive TB Mk I. Knowing how rare these beauties are, I will consider myself very privileged (and fortunate) when I do finally get behind the wheel of my own V8.
Nice comment from ksilver about colour not being an issue once you've driven one. Starting to drool at the thought...

Hi Herman, trust you are well.
Couple of reasons really, firstly getting the big new house sorted out is costing rather more than we anticipated (for example have you SEEN the price of bl**dy curtains?!) so need to realise some cash.
Now we've moved to the Suffolk/Norfolk border it's hard to do her justice. There are few decent roads around here. We're in the middle of the sugar beet harvest at the moment and it's impossible to keep a car clean. So I'm using the 4X4 all the time.
If I was a bit younger I'd salt her away somewhere, they'll be very collectable in years to come. But at 66, what's the point?
So, sadly she's got to go...
(Mind you, I drove her to Cambridge today and nearly changed my mind...)

looks like it could be going to another enthusiast

Just been on pistonheads and counted 10 260's for sale sadly none in Trophy Blue, like mine.

Good luck with your quest, you wont be disapointed.
