Do you have a digital copy of the book?
Yes – shoot me a pm with your email address. I fly (don’t own) a 210K – and I’ve parted one out so everything from a rotary actuator to a whiffletree assembly I’ve seen it and had a chance to look at how they are made.
My first wet aircraft ownership dream was a P210 Centurion. Always liked them.
Have flown an early specimen. According to the mechanics the gear is a nightmare to maintain, has about as many doors as a B747! I would go for one of the alter, strutless, models.

Wasn’t there an STC to remove the gear doors?
It does seem a good ol’ timer, with a newish engine and recent prop, assuming it’s not been a ramp mummy somewhere. A similar Comanche 250 might be €10k cheaper but without the above average avionics fit.
Looks like she’s back on the market.

Quite a lovely avionic set up and a capable plane I suppose.
If I was in the market…

The first iterations of the C210 are essentially stretched C182s with a super complicated (read: failure prone) gear system. I have flown these things and would not buy one.

Well, it might only be me… but I’d rather rate this as antiquated, as most old certified dinos are…
