ZT MK2 (260?) Trim Codes

Anyone have an idea what trim code PWH stands for? I can't find it in the usual places

I would suggest you try putting this on the VIN numbers and details section of two-sixties.com. Andy (Scarlet Fever) is doing a lot of work compiling all this sort of stuff, so may well know.

Done that already Chris, he didn't recognise it

Ah. In that case, I would recommend the most scientific approach as being "mock Andy without mercy for his lack of 260 knowledge" until he finds out!

PWH is not listed as a trim or any other code for the ZT 260 or 75 V8 in the 2006 MGR catalogue.

Oooooooo er I will go and recheck perhaps I misread it

My first posting on here

Just to confirm, although i am collecting trim codes amongst reams of other data, it is true i don't have a large enough sample (yet) to work them out and am not sure how they work.

For example, my 260 is trim code WSP and i am reliably informed that my ZT is equivallent to a 'plus'.

In addition to this there is a digit in the VIN that refers to the trim level (6th one). In my case it is X.

So, you would think that WSP and X are related to each other, and therefore all cars with X as the 6th digit will have a WSP trim code. Sadly this isn't the case as far as i can tell.

Keith's car is PWH and X

I am also told that there are only three trim levels in the VIN sequence, L X and G. Although i have yet to find an L spec car. The G relates to the SE spec models, so i assume that L is the basic model and on a car that cost what it did when new this would explain it's rarity - if you are spending this kind of money on a car you don't want the base model.

I suspect that the trim code is split into key areas, here's what i think:

First digit = say, seats - a letter for Matrix, one for Monaco, one for Gunsmoke and combos like power memory seats with heater elements combined with the fabrics.

Second digit = say, equipment level - a letter for DI pack, one for Hi Line sat nav, one for all electric windows (mine is front only), one for power fold mirrors, rear blind and again combos.

Third digit = say exterior - a letter for xenons, a letter for sunroof, chrome pack, alloys and combos.

So it would be very difficult to break them down i reckon, you would need a huge sample of cars with accurate info on the spec of each to do it... Or a list from MGR (hint hint!) Anyone got one?
