No it wouldn’t! It would make your ears bleed, I had zero’s on my V8 and it resonated like hell!

Horrible on a long journey.

You’ve to drop the rear axle to get the exhausts out on the V8 so cost would be restrictive

Now that is a one of a kind 260.

Shot Silk is one very appealing colour too look at.

How much!!!!!!!

I know its as rare as hens teeth but it is only a ZT with a supercharged V8. You could get an AMG C63 near enough for that money which has a handbuilt engine and 500 BHP with enough torque to turn a small country.

I know its the holy grail in this model but is it really worth that

The answer is no

It does make for a rather handsome wheelbarrow though

We're all thinking it, for £19k you could have so much, Corvettes, Porsches, Lexus ISF, M3's, C63's, Maserati's, TVR's

Or you could have a rebadged Rover 75

What a lovely colour and as the seller mentions 1 of 1.

Some cars will attract a premium price over a bog standard car due to their rarity , history or uniqueness.

With some cars it is worth paying a bit more to know you are either buying a sorted car or a car with an interesting history.

I know it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but I really like the Zs
