Picture of 003, with another 260, at Bovington Tank museum in 2012.
My 260 was plugged into a T4 with no problems.

If I'm not mistaken this looks like the Rio red example I saw in 2010 at the national Gaydon meet! If it is then it was the only one in Rio red and the owner then had all sorts of tricks done to it. For example the wife of the owner bought him chrome Mustang rocker covers for his birthday or some such occasion and I remember his going on about all the extras and adjustments.

If I'm wrong on this one then,,,,,il get me coat

Sure you're not mistaken that for #862 from Eurorover.

MKII but Rio Red and the only one with 4 in 2 exhaust.

It was parked next to #003 at Brooklands in 2013

Quite possible as I don't remember his moniker! I was not at the 2013 meet (shame on me) I just seem to remember him saying that his was tho only Rio red one (V8) made at the 2010 meet.

Perhaps this is not the one in the OP

I'll get me coat now!!!
