Maybe it has not been photoshopped and is standard as I know for example the Geneva car has 19'' Vortex wheels on it and they were to weak to drive the car with them on. So maybe the interior is similar

Did they do 19" vortex I thought they were all 18"?

They were always 18'' on production cars but MGR made a special set of 19'' Show wheels for the car.

Well...had a quick look, and I would guess the wheel either has no cable, or the cable is hanging in space.

I was under the impression (as Dave) that the wheel didn't function, ahence the v8 badge insted. Fairly certain I have it in my 260 factory notes

The 75 V8 being an auto has a different size gear box, and also a different heater assembly i believe thus allowing for the thumb wheel, compared to the large manual gearbox on the zt's and not having the thumb wheel and the V8 badge. although may have to double check myself so that i don't sound like a complete idiot.
