Sorry Looking 54 Plate V8 Tourer in Mid Wales - Page 9

ZT 260........bah my diesel powered family estate will keep up with one of those

.........actually that would quite an interesting drag if any 260 owners are interested?

I always fancied a 260 but sadly I do too many miles for one to make sense plus the challenges of dealing with it's maintenance out here in deepest darkest Norfolk gave me the fear. I would consider one as a replacement for the TF however they hold they're money a little too well.

Hope I didn't use a Thank You in this thread. After the first few posts it became more of a slagging session.
Call it:

Banter
Tonque in cheek
Entertaining
Or even someones humour

The moment people feel it could be personal, all the above is lost.

Understanding written text vs. spoken words face-to-face is always open for misunderstandings.

Bit late for it now but but if an opinion is personal, make it clear and don't generalise it.
Helps to avoid a lot of these so called misunderstandings

Sorry Tony, I will now get my coat and feck off then

Thank you.

I don't know too much about the V8's I assume they're all Connoisseur SE spec plus other options as standard- it's got full Smokestone leather, sunroof, satnav and the wheels normally found on the Contemporary. Anyway, I'm sure it could be saved.

(I've tried to upload some pics.....not too sure how successfully!)

This thread is to ascertain the details about this car NOT about V8s in general.

I am interested in buying this car

Be good if you could get it Andy, first reg to Rover by the looks of the data. 703 and 770 were registered together with 790.
