There was a V8 ZT on Autotrader around 2 weeks ago - they were asking £18,995...

You would need to pay me double that to take it off your hands, and why does it have a mystery wheel in the middle of the caramac rattledash??

The climate control works rather more normally on the 75 V8 plus they have rear centre console vents as well

Because it's been swapped for a different colour one I'd think by the look of it.

Why they didn't swap over the V8 blanking plate for the thumbwheel is a mystery, though.....

They were factory fitted .

It works as it should on the Rover 75 version of the V8, well it did on the one I used to own #670.

Some of the Starspokes (on the car in question) were & the 18" Vortex wheels were definitely diamond cut.

As far as I recall & as already said, the venting system on the R75 V8 was pretty much like all the other 75's/ZT's etc with only the 260 eliminating the rear vent & dashboard thumbwheel.
