    Thats the one Ive seen. dribble.

    The one i was looking at was http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/sh...dr-saloon.html

    Im not keen on the alloys but thats easily sorted. Its been listed for 7 days now so may have gone at that price. I suppose it could be someones from here?

    looks like Vin #073. Looks nice

    Wheels look like proper Apex's to me, but a non standard colour.

    We have done cars with more than 80K miles but did give them a leak down and oil pressure check first. We have had no problems with any of them. These engines are good for very high mileages.

    Great. Im looking for a 260 for around the 5k mark so i know im not going to be able to get a spring chicken. Then its going to be a matter of saving for the supercharger. I think the car deserves it

    Ive only just managed to persuade the girlfriend that the V8 is a good idea... Im keeping the supercharger under my hat for now

    Its worth a phonecall....you never know.

    I like that colour red. I think it's Garnet red, which would make it one of only 4 in that colour I belive, and one of those went overseas.
