When dik mk1 become mk2?

[sewerman]

Probably been answered before but I'm just curious when the mk2 came out?

My 04 cdti is a mk 1 (with later fuse box, no additional wiring and blue dash lights so it's a bit of a miss match) is on an 04 plate rolled of the production line 9/1/04 registered 1/3/04.

This vehicle was the 13,086th ZT to run off the production line, out of 18,894
This vehicle was the 2,005th ZT CDTi + (135) to be made out of 4,184
This vehicle was the 74th ZT in Black Paint C.O.B. (code: PAK) to be made out of 132 Black Paint C.O.B. ZTs

I've see face lift 04 cars so was just wondering what date did the last mk1 roll off the line just wondering were mine sits in terms of mk1s

Thanks

The facelift models came out in February 2004, just before the 04 registrations were released on 1st March. Based on that, I would say the last mk1s were January 04, there aren't many mk 1s past a 53 plate, obviously yours, and I knew of about 2 others.If you drop a pm to Reebs, the head moderator, he may be able to give you the exact details, if you really want to know.

Mine was an 04 plate mk1 sadly no longer with us due to being in an accident.

As you say not many past a 53 plate which our current zt is.

The change was a result of 'project drive' which took place over a period of time, the obvious one one was the change to the front bumper and headlights, but some internal changes - fuse panel etc. took place much earlier.

There is an exact chassis number change point that I have somewhere in my factory notes. There are however a few discrepancies with a the earlier facelift cars. My last tourer was one of the early ones but still had mk1 clocks fitted

I think first facelift chassis was 321638

Two different projects - we have a Mk1 pre Project Drive, a Mk1 post Project Drive, and a Facelift 75.

Changeover vehicles often have odd fitments, I've noted. Once owned the very last Jaguar Series-2 2+2 E-type and the door cards and trim leathers were all marked by hand as "Series III V12 only". I can only assume it had Series 3 doors too? Odd, but not just MGR who do/did that kind of thing!
I have relays on my January 2005 75 V8 are dated 1997 (all the green ones!). I think towards the end they were scrabbling around for bits to build cars when their suppliers weren't.
