I flew about 70 hrs in a 1969 T210 and loved every minute of it.
But.....it was troublesome, not in engine/turbo area, or in gear, but with
fuel
starvation/percolating issues. It's a known snag with the earlier models and
the upgraded
fuel line system is very very expensive to install.
Avoid models before about 1975.

Cessna's premier single is a wonderful machine when it's working right.
And that's the trouble ... it's sensitive to proper maintenance.

Thanks. I joined this morning, and found and read one article on the
210.
