V8 review on Youtube

CDTi · 21st November 2008, 13:07

Just spotted this today. I haven't seen it posted on here before:

I thought the V8s didn't have any air control wheel below the centre vents (dunno the proper name for it

). However the car in this one has (see 1.42 on the clip).

Enjoyed that

Early ones didn't but they had sorted it out in later models.

only the rover v8 have the wheel because of having the automatic gearbox, all the zt v8 don't have it, just have the V8 badge instead

Thanks for clarification.
Never realised the difference with gearbox and make before.

That's a thoroughly enjoyable video. Seem to recall seeing it before somewhere but it's one of those that's good to watch every time round though

iirc that's the NZ based V8. The current owner is a 260's member
