I can now reveal that I've done a deal with V8 Novi, and am now the proud owner of VIN #77. Colin kindly delivered her this morning. Many thanks to all of you that offered advice, and pointed out a couple of Mk Is for sale. I really appreciate al responses. This has been a surprise Christmas present to my wife (well, that's what I'm going to tell her anyway, but in reality, #77 is mine, all mine!), so I've not been able to post anything on two-sixties until now.
My greatful thanks to V8 Novi - a real gent, and a credit to 260 owners.
I'm now looking forward to enjoying our new big sister to the fabulous Trophy Blue Mk I 190+ we already have. I can just see the pair of them parked side by side now...
Will my two-sixties membership be updated to reflect my new status please? I look forward to regular postings, and to meeting some of you at forthcoming MG events next year.
