Looking for a reasonably priced 280 cylinder head UK based,

Hi Dave,

I had to replace my 280 cylinder head recently and did not realise until then that their is an earlier type and a late type, both completely different.

Mine was an earlier type which was more difficult to track down, could have had a choice of a few of the later type, ended up getting one via eBay from Germany.

Glad you mentioned that Ray, it’s the later one I need .

I have both early and late heads. However, I am in the US. Shipping will be expensive, but if you don't find anything give me a tinkle.

I'll have one in France, we'll be there as of July 1, let me know if you can't find one in the UK.

Cees, when you check your heads, see if you have one with ID 280SEL/SL and casting number 130 016 17 01. I have a location in Germany you can send it to.
