Just the thing to replace the grill on my barbecue.

I can fit the brackets for you Aidy. The bracket installation service is only £500.

Would it fit a 260 or would I have to modify the car ?

I'm intrigued to know how many offers you've have so far. And how many are "very near" your valuation.

The response so far has been quite disappointing I have to say, I'd hoped a specialist site this would have been more appreciative of this rare heritage item.

Perhaps we could use it as a pattern for a 'group buy'?

Make it a members only purchase? That’ll get ‘em flocking
