Oops yes counting pictures!
I guess the ratio is about right then

Still amazed one would find its way on Ebay, perhaps he has bought a few and is testing the response.

Wrong time of year to sell cars though imho, good time to buy though

And as for prices that has to be down to the rare word again, it can't be kit can it, after all you are missing a shock absorber under there that the ZT SE (note I said SE not my stripped out higher performance version) has aren't you

Well Keith, the biggest bits of kit are: the auto box, of course, which gives me somewhere to put my left foot, and the full leather. The missing shock absorber is not really needed. It is a necesary addition to the manual car so as to eliminate NVH, if I my understanding of Nic's (Rincewind) recent comment is correct. Also, the Rover has a centre exhaust box which I think the MG hasn't? Therefore quieter, just a subdued rumble- and I like quiet. Plus, there was no base - (non SE) Rover V8 model made, just connoisseur SE and contemporary SE. I acknowledge though we can miss out on 18ins wheels and a sun roof - two nice options

Not quite on the damper front - the damper is more for location to prevent it tramping under power.

This one should probably go in the techie section:

How do I move the steering to the left side?

I have already tried that.

But that ugly fellow in the other car scares me!

Pete, over on Two-Sixties under Andy Kitson's banner, article "Development of the chassis" there is a very good explanation on damper development. Sorry I credited the info to Rincewind, but it was actually Andy's. Worth a look anyway.

Thanks for letting me know - I can't see it though (much as I'd I'd love to!). Ho hum.

I've been trying to get hold of a chap on BIW development on X12/13 but I'm still waiting for a reply. Maybe I'll get lucky fairly soon.

Andy posts on the 260s? Get him on over here! We'd love for him to comment upon less exotic 75s and ZTs too!

PS eBay should be banned. I've just seen the most gorgeous ZTT260 SE in black for 14k... I want I want I want... must stop myself... arrgh!
