Default Snowy Photos of production no:075 my new 260 V8


Here she is!!!


From the front as you can see its been snowing!!


My CDTI is the car parked next to it.


This picture didn't quite upload right, I used one of those online compressors, but its quite artistic!!!

The car is not yet on the road, still needs:
  • Front Passenger Door lock fixing, won't open.
  • Dash displaying 999,999, hoping to sort soon.
  • Needs 4 new tyres, can't decide whether to swap with my Diesels alloys but I love the straights and there in great condition.
  • Inner electric seat plastic control panel on drivers side is loose and needs sorting.
  • Awaiting V5 to arrive, need to check MOT, no other documentation.
Looking to be on the road in the next two weeks, if I can afford to fix the main issues.

Well done Fraser, I think that you got a great buy there. I'm guessing that you may yet have a pleasant surprise once the real mileage is sorted out. Best wishes, Tony.

Thanks tony, big hopes re the milage, but even if it is the listed 100k I won't be disappointed been reading up on how solid the engine is.

why don't you give the dvla a call explain- they may be able to tell you if it's mot'd give you the number and you could find the miles at last mot.
Imho that doesn't look like a 100k mile car. It's been well looked after-
e.g. good front and rear badges (as we know they delaminate)

Interior is Black leather / Black alacantra, has the electric memory seats, high line sat nav etc. I'll take some pics of the inside and update the thread when I've sorted the door and the electric seat issue. I think it is a monogram colour it has tints of purple etc, when you look at the paint.

Tried that but they wouldn't tell me anything without having the V5 referene. Greeners gonna come back to me hopefully today though, as he's checking with a guy he uses.
