Rover 75 V8

[Fille]

Hello, a couple of R 75 V8 / MG ZT 260 questions...

1) Was there ever a Mk 1 Rover 75 V8, ie with the old style front end? If i understood correctly there are Mk 1 MGs around but all Rovers I've seen were with the new style front.

2 a) Are all R 75 V8s automatic and
b) are all ZT 260s manual?

Does anyone know for sure the ratio between the different models, ie how many ZT, ZT-Ts, 75s and 75 Tourers were made with the V8. Also the number of LHD vs RHD would be interesting.

I'm getting the V8 fever again, there's a ZT-T 260 for sale in Helsinki...
