I'm sure you are right Paul - but to get full membership of those Forums there are constraints.

.ORG a subscription
260 a car

So I'll see what comes of this thread we could be surprised.

So to date:

Anyone done a succesful LPG conversion - if so what are the running costs of such a vehicle?

Didn't know about rear springs - what do you replace with Eibach?

List still stands at:

Personally, I still like the car and if money was no object I would own one.

I won't compare it with other cars as that's pointless on a pro MG website.

Except to say our 335D Coupe was much faster than the 260, but arguably not as much fun to drive when you want to hoon around. That's all I'll say on the comparison's.

On the cars for sale - I think the one Matt mentions is pricey with the mileage - the one George was selling was reasonable.

On a serious note, glad I sold the excellent BMW RWD 335D or don't own a 260 as an everyday car in these wintry conditions. FWD or AWD is the only choice, hence my Mondeo or GTR for some fun. Having said that the GTR has stayed in the garage - noway the idiots on the wintry roads are going to take me out.

Interesting, article in this months EVO regarding the 260 which I've placed on www.xpower-racing.com

I imagine in supercharged form the 260 is fun in dry conditions (never driven a Dreadnought conversion and probably never will - unless anyone is prepared to let me have a go, so can't make a real judgement).

Happy New Year guys and girls.

Came lurking by. Noticed nothing has really been posted in years. At one time there were hundreds of posts a week.

Guess, there aren't many 260's in good condition left either.
