Is this advert correct
https://www.wightbay.com/freshwater/...-2002-6820078/
Says there are only 9 on the road, is that correct? |

Accurate, yes and no....
Hello!
They probably used a site like "how many left" which breaks down how many of each sub-type is left. I think sites like that use data based on V5 information. It's not that scientific, in that a ZT-T and ZTT would be listed as different as different types. If you happen to have a unique typo on the V5 your car will be the only one left. David |

As others have said, the data on exact numbers left is not accurate for a variety of reasons, but what is true that ZT 180 autos were originally produced in substantially lesser numbers than other ZT's and must be now becoming quite rare; Tourers even more so.

Be even rare with a 180 zt with the correct engine in it also after all the various kv6 issues over the decades.

Yes! The ZT 180 engine is unique in being a de-tuned version of the 190 engine (apparently to ease the strain on the auto transmission) but it retained the 190 camshafts. The ZS 180 did not have this engine.

Well I have exactly this model/year albeit a Monogram typhoon.In the rear passenger quarter window is a sticker stating "4 of 45 built". As far as I know it has the original engine now at 123k miles.
