The biggest improvement you can make to a later model 75 or ZT is to fit a carpet from a early Cowley built 75.

The Cowley 75's were fitted with a much thicker carpet and the foam bonded to the carpet was thicker in places.

Many thanks for all the messages and ideas sent in this thread! Yes, I had overlooked the carpet. The carpet in mine is really a very nasty, thinnish, synthetic and nowhere near has the feel of, and quality, that was on my year 2000 V6. Perhaps in time I will grow accustomed to the harshness of the CDTi - but how I miss the cossetting luxury of the Cowley car.....ED
