Not looking to buy just bored and trawling through the adverts and saw this http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/584253.htm is it a typo or something special?

Had me puzzled too - my best guess is the seller means a 400 with the optional '250 bhp' (gas flowed heads) upgrade - I vaguely remember to have seen plenums with a '250' badge on Griffiths thus equipped.

wavey Hi Andy. Supercharger is optional, after a couple of years... Now, are you thinking of getting another to go with the lovely Chim you already have?

Hi all the car is mine.
Sorry for all the confusion the 250 is on the plenum and is the BHP. It was one of the test bed cars for the 4.3, 4.5 so it has a 5 ltr cam and gas flow heads.
Hope this helps.

Leetvr, thanks for clearing that up. Sounds impressive, if it goes as good as it looks should be a good buy for someone, good luck with the sale.

No, as much as I'd like a Tuscan convertible I'll be keeping mine for a while (the boss said so! nono) Had it nearly two years and contemplating the supercharger option sometime in the future but have a few more things to do before then, brakes, handling, etc. so may not happen. Need to see how others get on with theirs long term too biggrin
