Just made my own 260 post, just before reading this one.
Yes join two-sixties as suggested, also check out eBay, http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/ and any other sites you can find. These cars seem to pop up in odd places and not always on enthusiasts sites, although an enthusiast owned car is probably going to be preferable. Found it hard work looking for mine as they're rare enough that there is never any nearby to look at.

There were fewer than 900 made including the Rover 75 variants, so that's one reason why you're never going to see many of them for sale.
I paid £12,700 for mine from a main dealer with 12 month warranty, tax and AA cover when it was 3 years old on 25,000 miles. It's now 9 years old and has 70,000 miles on the clock, and if I ever did decide to sell it, I'd probably be able to get £9k+ for it, being that the tourers carry a bit of a premium. That's another reason why you're not going to see many for sale. Yes, the petrol consumption is painful, but once you add in the depreciation of just about anything you can think of to replace it, then it's actually rather cheap to run.
Lastly, though, I simply can't think what I'd replace it with. It has no electronic rubbish beyond ABS - it's a Mk1, so no horrible traction control - and it's just superb fun to drive. As has been said, it's not the fastest thing in a straight line but, amazingly given its bulk, it is weirdly quick in the twisties and that, after all, is where most of the fun is to be had!
Anyway, mine's not for sale, sorry!

thought as much, i know what you mean about electronic rubbish though, thats why i like my TVR, not even ABS on there, its just not family friendly,mine too has a relitvly slow v8 but im sure like the v8 in the rover its hugely tunable, mine is fast just cos its very lightI paid £12,700 for mine from a main dealer with 12 month warranty, tax and AA cover when it was 3 years old on 25,000 miles.
