For the 75, I'd go mk1 out of preference, unless someone dangled a mint V8 under my nose for peanuts. Just looks more classy to me and reminds me of my Dad's P4 with the grille.

As the proud owner of a mk2 ZT, I do think the facelift treatment works better. Slightly sleeker and less bulky perhaps. Don't get me wrong, would jump at the chance of a mk1 ZT (if the cashflow and drive space permitted).

On the whole facelift front for the 25/45/75 & ZR/ZS/ZT, I personally think the facelift worked best for the ZS and ZT, though I was never over keen on the boot/tailgate treatment of the ZS - a bit too 90s Max Power for me with the reg plate in the bumper. Didn't stop me owning one!
