My favourite was the salesman trying sell a 1.8 ZT-T 'Turbo'. Just kept insisting that one of the 'T's must stand for turbo despite standing at the open bonnet and pointing at the exhaust manifold and asking if this was an invisible turbo? And then at the missing grommets on the top radiotar brackets leaving the radiator to wobble about...



But that's a digression. Like Suzublu says there's no VVC engined 75s or ZTs from the factory. There are a fair few that have the inlet manifold from one fitted to replace the plastic manifold ( a popular modification). there may even be one or two that have had a whole 1.8VVC engine dropped in as a modfication but I couldn't say for sure.
