That seller is the one that got me interested in the 75 in the first place as he does cracking auction pics.
There are considering how few were made quite a few 75 V8s for sale on autotrader all at much higher prices than a similar age ZT260 not sure why as the specs are very similar. Lets see what it reaches if it goes for under 12K someone will have done well We will probably see quite a few pre registered cars of all types appear for sale now the end of the year is approaching. I am not sure we will see any as low as I paid for mine though! |

I do like the way they've rounded 4,601cc up to a 4.7 litre engine!
What does it have under the clock? Doesn't look like the V8 badge we have in the 260s, and I wouldn't have thought it should have the aircon switch that the smaller engined models have there should it?

It's the normal air con vent switch. The 75 V8 doesn't normally have a V8 badge, except mine . Tom

Badge is good
I have yet to get the centre knob to actually feel like it is doing anything I tend to regularly waggle it from one place to another and have not got a clue what it is supposed to be doing as I can't feel any difference! up to £3600 btw |

QUOTE] Checked today on Autotrader Keith, there are just 4 x R75V8 against 26 x MG's. About right ratio I reckon. Sure you weren't confused with non V8's with premium fronts? John |

Oops yes counting pictures!
I guess the ratio is about right then Still amazed one would find its way on Ebay, perhaps he has bought a few and is testing the response. Wrong time of year to sell cars though imho, good time to buy though And as for prices that has to be down to the rare word again, it can't be kit can it, after all you are missing a shock absorber under there that the ZT SE (note I said SE not my stripped out higher performance version) has aren't you |
