Auto box of course, only a handful of ZT260 have that, and nearly all in Australia. Manual Rover 75 V8's do not exist.

Then there is the Rover's softer suspension. Excellent and firmish but not as harsh as the ZT260.

Rover exhaust system has differences, which makes the exhaust note more of a delicious throaty, V8 burble as against the ZT260 Scream-and-shout approach to life.

The Rover heater is more sophisticated and has controllable face-vent cold air too (wheel instead of V8 badge on the dash).

General soundproofing much more extensive over all the car.

Rover 75 V8's come as standard on 17" Star-spoke wheels, 18" Vortex being an option (all ZT260's have 18" of various types).
