Seller is in dreamland setting a reserve that high on a poverty spec car.
The idea of a 260 with no Xenons is literally criminal.
I still think I have the best reg plate btw.....
V260 MG !!!

Maybe he is but it they are not making any more of them. It will be interesting to see how high it goes in the usual last few seconds as normally happens on the bay of plenty.
It was not that long ago you could buy a very nice big engine Capri with low miles for a couple of months wages but now that same car will be a years wages for a lot of people.
As far as the Xenons go they can be retro fitted.
Well, more power to his elbow! Prices do appear to be going up. Whether its a trend or the start of a 'south-sea-bubble' only time will tell. Suites me since I've got one already, albeit an even rarer(!) LHD R75V8. Not so good for those looking to find one.
SE/none SE? Majority of the differences can be retro-fitted, at a price, if you want to and think it worthwhile, including Xenons.
It certainly will be interesting to see what it goes for in the end, if we can ever find out!. 'Supply and demand', and there ain't more supply expected

The search is really doing my head in!! Iv had a few pm's from a couple of people for cars around the 10k region which makes me think i may as well put a little more into the kitty and put the vxr8 into the mix. Im in no rush but when my wife was in uni we had no money and there always seemed to be a few well priced cars for sale, no shes in work and im able to buy peolple are holding on to there v8 beasts. Ah well. Keep looking. I will have a v8. It MUST happen.
I don't think £7500 is that bad for a low mileage example. Shame about the non SE spec. At least it wont have traction control.
I know when I was looking for my ZTT 260 I looked at several and they were either crazy money or frankly only a few miles off a lot of money needing to be spent. One black one I looked at was well past its best, a very dubious MOT history with an odd jump down in miles on its second MOT and was an insurance write off. The owner wanted £10k and it sold the day after I looked at it. I missed a lovely Red one, less that 20k miles and the buyer bought it on the phone without even looking at it apparently.

Like I did with 'Olive'. At 3.5k pounds, I thought I couldn't go wrong. Cash transfer within 5 minutes of the posting on the Internet!
She's got a huge mileage under the belt, but looks and drives like new. 1k on 4 shocks + springs, A/C pump and alternator and nothing more needs doing.
I bought her to tinker on in my retirement, but I just have to drive her instead for a hobby
So, I NEVER regretted it, but in the general sense its not perhaps a wise tactic!

I got burned with the last car i bought a mercedes ml the transmission failed a few days after i bought it, it had been bodged just to last. Luckily i was able to remove and rebuild myself and it only cost me a few hundred in parts but if it was someone who is not good with spanners they would be looking at a very big repair bill. Im super cautious now. I could not sell a car to someone knowing there is a problem and lie to people. I wouldnt sleep at night. If i look at the past mot ect and what the seller says dont add up il walk away. At the same time if i spoke to a seller and they said its very good but the diff whines when warm that would not bother me in the slightest. Id be quite happy to pull the diff and rebuild it. Just hate devious lying scammers trying to palm off there rubbish for good money.
