You may have seen a posting in the Complete List of 260s FOR SALE (https://www.two-sixties.co.uk/mgoc260/html/f0rum/showthread.php?13272-Complete-List-of-260s-FOR-SALE) a little over a week ago, for a LHD Pearl Black R75V8 Tourer #849. The posting, which I made in good faith, included a link to an advert on the mobile.de site. I have been in touch with the current owner, still in Switzerland, Matthias Vogt, who tells me that the mobile.de advert was in fact part of a hoax or a SCAM.
The car was not, and is not, for sale.
I feel really bad about this, because I repeated the link that Nicolas (scoubix) had sent me too. He was also unwittingly duped by the 'scam merchant'. It would appear from what I have heard, that the hoaxer/scammer was intent on spreading the information beyond just the mobile.de advertisement itself.
Matthias Vogt has accepted my personal apologies, and the Forum's apologies which I expressed on its behalf, for what happened.
