Default ZTT260 on the Bay.

ZTT260 on the bay (BL54 MWP).

Known on here ?

As 15k seems more than top money, but pictures aren't the best.

Nope, the money is about right. The S/c would have been around £7k to install. There's around 35 V8's with superchargers so very rare.

Ahhh right, didn't realise the supercharger made such a difference.

Also, looks like going to need some attention underneath to keep tinware at bay soon.

Wow that is a lot of money for an engine & different running gear.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335170121738

The rest of the car if we are honest is a disappointment, not the greatest colour, seats are poor manual ones, rusty springs, MOT also suggests it's not been really looked after from the beginning.

I could find a lot better cars out there for that sort of money, but each to there own the V8 has never really done it for me.

Have to agree, as said, seems a lot of money for what is a basic, low spec car apart from the engine.

Underneath looking a bit uncared for and needing attention and rust protection.

This one is a bit smarter if you are after a 400, and not fussed about a saloon or tourer.

Price reflects condition. Average price for an average condition S/C is about 13-16k though, looking at prices over the last couple of years. More for very low miles or a flip colour Monogram with 100% paint.

Bit out of the way for most, but there is this one in Australia,
https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...E-AD-16082159/
Equivalent to £17.5k. They are the only known 3 S/C cars for sale just at the moment.
