Yes that was pointed out to me at the last National when comparing the dealer launch cars with others. I would have thought it was just a change of design or supplier rather than a project drive cost cutting measure though.

Darn! - thought I'd found something new. Should have guessed you'd be on the ball already!

Hi Paul
Did you ever illustrate the difference in the V8 carpets yet?! Rover version is 2 piece and ZT version is one piece. I digress from project drive on this one though!

I was looking at it agian just now for some information, and noticed the question above. I can't rememebr whether I have reported this before, but my car is VIN 209549, manufacture date 4th April 2001, and did not have the embossed headrests (although it does now becasue I upgraded them), so that's a bit earlier than stated in the original info on this thread (27 April 2001 / VIN 209690). Hope that is helpful. Last edited by david75; 20th June 2014 at 22:36.. |

So I guess the machine I now own is a victim of "Project Deprive" it explains a few things.

Don't worry about it.
Project drive is easily reversed !!! Hardest bit possibly is putting a proper carpet in

I was interested stripping out my MG ZTT dash (PPD) and replacing with a later one that the PPD one even though plastic had a very nicely finished metal backer and bolts rather than self tappers to hold the bits on
looks not different but would suspect its less creaky!! |

Think I have found another project drive deletion. Certainly not in the illustrated part.
I have just been fitting parts from a ppd car. Found that the carpet in the boot was nicer and the rearmost part was finished In a proper edge not just cut. Now in my car. Photos available if interested. if this has been mentioned before please ignore. regards john
