Last one off of the line?

190SETOURING · 15th July 2015, 20:36

Just looking at production figures and i think my Biomorphic V8 might be the very last 260se Monogram ever made! 879 out of 883 only one car not listed number 880.

That's right Keith, 879 was the sixth from last of the ZT 260's to come off the line and is the final one to be a Monogram variant.

Following yours were:
1 x Ignition Blue (#880 & not an SE)
1 x British Racing Green
1 x Xpower Grey
1 x Starlight Silver (#872 ZT-T LHD Export to Belgium)
1 x Black Pearl

Thanks Paul, a bit of MGR history!

its done 11500 miles now.

880 is indeed an Ignition Blue non SE fitted with factory fitted blue alcantara (but not any more

)

It is now fitted with sandstone 75 seats, carpets, light oak dash and steering wheel, etc etc.

Is this the missing link perhaps, but yes I would say yours would be the last Monogram V8 Keith

Maybe there is another thread on this somewhere, but do we know how many V8's are left in the UK and specifically how many mk 1 V8's are left in the UK.

I saw an advert on auto trader a few months back with a mk 1 V8 for sale and the advert stated that the car was believed to be 1 of only 31 left in the UK. Is this correct?

Is there a full list anywhere of all the V8 VIN's along with details of the cars that I can look at online?

There is on the Two Sixties but it's available to members only as it's got some personal info on it.
