G I'll never sell
I have a limited edition high compression 230 GE driving the socks off any 280, but with a fuel consumption of 24-26 m/gal.
The car has been kept 100% original, costing a fortune, but worth it and I was never going to sell it.
Today I got a phone call and 5 minutes later I had £10k in the bank, ending my 460 days. Sad to see it go, but then again who would keep a 460 at that price?
So from owning 6, I now only have 1.
thats great news and sad news....

10k is good money for a 460 mind you, but money comes and goes..

I don't know how to post pics Huss
It is a '89 swb with about 165 horses under the bonnet and 140k miles, burgundy and all the bells and whistles available at the time.
I have toured about 20k miles through Europe with it, made a crossing in the Alps following a ancient donkey track resulting in a few nights on the mountain and surviving a the big blizzard of 3 years ago on that trip.
Toured about 30k miles through Africa in it, mostly in the mountains following fire-breaks and Great Trek routes. Never travel without a chainsaw, pickaxe, and lots of rope and webbing.
Used it for live game capture in Africa, ie 70-80ml/h through dense bush following helicopters and darted animals and then to tow a 5 ton trailer with the animals out of the bush. Went through 4 bull bars in one year.
Construction vehicle, etc,etc
The list is to long, but it is a hell of a car and in my opinion the best 460 ever built.
