Looking at this tommorow
Saw this today. Staff were very friendly and very helpfull. Its on autotrader for 7993, but when I got there it was up 8995...
Drove it, seems to drive well. First time I have drove a 260, the sound was fantastic! LOVE the weight of the controls, reminds me of an old E30 325 I once had with a heavy clutch
Kerbed wheels...to be expected I guess. Wasnt able to get to the deal I wanted so came home and am going to have a think about it. Awesome car though, just a shame it needs some money spent on it to make it mint.
Rear Bumper, tyres, little d dents in two doors, kerbed wheels. The plastic with the seat controls for the driver chair was also broken off the seat frame, again is this common? Was a bit gutted that it wasnt mint otherwise I would of paid up and drove off with it there and then. Hmmm. Cant be to choosey though not many around is there! Especially when I have a car to P/X....
Idle curiosity question - what is your part exchange car?
My boot was damp, but it's due to the time it spent sitting around. Now it's being used it's back to normal

I did get your PM tony, thank you
2003 (52 plate) 330Ci Sport coupe automatic. They offered me £6000 for it. But that was with them selling the MG at 8500. What they would of really done is "sold" the MG at 7999 and written my car in at 5500. It just sounds more impressive to offer me 6000 and sell the MG at 8500
Would of taken it there and then, but wasnt happy with having to find £2500 to change (was thinking more 1500) and then having to buy two new tyres/do an oil service/pain the bumper...just before I walked out the door they offered me 2000 to change. They were nice to deal with though, so I am not saying anything bad about them. Their idea of how much their MG was worth and my idea of what it was worth with the work it needed doing wasnt the same though. Great cars mind you!! Loved it!

There are better ones out there for similar / less money.
How about sell yours p/x car and then buy Tony's V8 for example?

Hi All
Just came across this thread - I bought this car in March. I had been considering getting a 260 for a couple of years so decided to go for this as it was in the colour/spec I was after...
So far I have refurbed the alloys to original black chrome and put 2 new tyres on. What a huge difference mint wheels make to a car!
It's booked in at Austin Garages at the end of June for a 60k service as well as a few other odds and ends. Once that's done I'll get the dents removed and the rear bumper sprayed.
I've also fitted the 16:9 widescreen, mk4 dvd drive and 16:9 tv tuner and chnaged the dash trim to mk1 glossy grey inserts.
The chassis number is 878 so is a late car and has twin horns, 4 grab handles and the BM54 radio unit as standard fit.
Planned mods:
Black olive heater valve
Heater hose
260's badges
Zero exhausts
Illuminated sunvisors
Ipod connection
Not sure whether to put R75 walnut in...
Then sell another car to supercharge it!
What a fantastic resource this is by the way!
VIN#878
