Roughly 6 Trophy Blue MKI that I can find. 2 of those are ZT-T
There might be a few more as not all are known on the 260-ties.

As others have said, the difference is a S/C. MG only made a few prototypes with the Roush (385)and at least 1 ZT-T was sold by SMC. No saloons were ever sold with the Roush IFAIK. The other S/C is an aftermarket Kenne Bell (400) conversion developed by Sean Hyland and Brian. Expensive but trusted option.

Some owners fitted the Roush themselves, some owners fitted the Kenne Bell. In both cases the success depends on the quality of the mapping.
