It is an excellent car. I've seen it, sat in it, heard it running. :bow:

Any issues are very minor (a few paint chips and imperfections, swapping the auto out, might benefit from nicer carpets) and could be sorted over time without any urgency. The interior vinyl is mint, the original dash looks new.

I should've bitten Phil's hand off for it at the time I saw it but stupidly didn't (I was still fixated on a project 240Z). :(

Just MOT it, register it, and off you go.

That's a big claim Red Baron and glad you said possibly :)
Snoopy here begs to differ ;)

An 'unrestored' car surely has original paint ?

It's a damn good car. Yes, one-year-old external respray in original colour and lacking (thank heavens) its original Zzzap car livery, but everything else, paint and otherwise, is original.

I've turned into a cheerleader for Phil's cars, but the 260 and 280 are both great.

No doubt they are both nice cars and I am not suggesting otherwise ;)
However, a re-painted car is not ' original unrestored ' is the point I am making.

Fair point. Obviously I've not seen your 280 either. Let me know next time you are in the vicinity!

Just done the M6/M5 back to Devon from Cheshire today Rich, should be back up in a couple of weeks though. Nice farmer in Plumley is giving me a proper barn with four walls and a locking door :thumbs: mid-March so will start to sell a few more cars from Gods Own County ;) a much better location for most people to access.

Once current crop of Zs gone that will be it for a while as the GBP/USD rate has been hammered lately with Brexit rumours finishing it off.

Currency speculators playing their silly games. :smash: The Pound/Yen rate has been getting less favourable by the day too - right when I was planning on buying a couple of bits from Japan. :(

Now Snoopy had swore that he'd get that man
So he asked the Great Pumpkin for a new battle plan
He challenged the German to a real dog fight
While the Baron was laughing he got him in his sights.
That bloody Red Baron was in a fix
He tried everything but he'd run out of tricks
Snoopy fired once and he fired twice
And that Bloody Red Baron went spinning out of sight

10,20,30,40,50 or more :D

Bit off topic here but the Yen/Pound rate has just cost me a load more cash for 5 Pantera models that I had already pre ordered :( not happy but has to be done :D
