You can, and I did this morning as well. Great entertainment - just glad I didn't register to bid. Some tempting prices.

They stream all their auctions online. Nearly bought the last V8 ZT that went through there but got pipped to the post. Always a nice selection of rare things going through

Unhappy

Yes I got it!
Went to see it last week but they wouldn't let me start and listen to engine. Only done 20k miles so thought would take the risk.
Driving it home tomorrow so will know then whether it was the right decision!!

Well done Steve, it looked a nice clean example so hopefully will bring you miles of smiles.

Let us know how you find it and post some pictures too if you can. It’s a pre-facelift 260 SE with the same spec as mine, so I would imagine you could add the electric rear blind to yours too if you wanted. Mine had the wiring all in place behind the heated seat switch packs. Welcome to the V8 club.

Nice one Steve.

I've got an original throttle chamber with a pony on it if you want to replace the existing. It came off mine. The Two Sixties also has larger throttle inlet to sharpen up the peddle response.

Even though you weren't allowed to start it they must have given you a guarantee of some sort on the engine and running gear.---
