I stand corrected

The car was re-painted in X Power Grey, and sold to one of the members on here

Paul (aka Blower 4.6)

This is the car

That is the XT500 with the 32 Valve engine in...

The 385 was a Rousch supercharger which I thought was in an Ignition Blue ZTT

I have possibly found a link that shows the ZTT385.

That's it, the one and only factory 385

Oh, I thought it was a Saloon not a Tourer (but I may also be confusing the 385 witt the 500)

I had read about other cars around the factory with the blown engine fitted -were these just development cars, whereas this ZT-T was a pre-production car?
