3. The other Rover, despite being shown in the photograph, is not included in the price. The owner is obviously not trustworthy.

5. It is not a C-class in Essex girl colour scheme.

6. A Hillman Imp would be my choice instead.

Please add your own negativity.
Do you like a red 260 then??

Here is mine:- (1 of 4 in Solar Red)

What parts are you finding difficult to obtain?

I dont have time to list most of the car.

Sure there are the group buys etc, but you are out of luck for diffs, props, rear subframes gearboxes etc

Solar is the best, Rio red sucks, unless you are on about Copperleaf or whatever that metallic one is.

Cheers guys!

I thought it was the best plate I could buy for a 260, was surprised it was available.

I moved the space though, so technically its not 100%.

There are more important things in life to worry about than a single space on a numberplate, before hysterial plate nazis comment, so I really don't give a monkeys!

Don't be like that.
Lovely car and some legal plates for the MOT will do the trick if you decide to take it for a spin and run the gauntlet...oh, and I don't like red at all but who cares
