Great thread, always wondered how much the 75 and ZT would have cost new.

According to this - The Typhoon ZT New as it left the factory was £24,160. With the optional extra's I've added it would have cost £25,810. And once I've added the cruise control and head lamp washers it would have cost £26,285

And according to an online inflation calculator... that is the equivalent of £37,316.81 in today's money!

1 question - on the optional extra's list for a ZT on first page, is the cost of a Hairpin Alloy at £375 just for the spare, or would the total option cost be £1,500 (£375 x 4) for a whole set + the cost for a full size spare?

The 75 was £26,180 new! But that figure might be slightly out due to the pricing of the connoisseur SE pack's for MKII's.

Would any of these items be an extra on zt-t 180+ se?

I know Poseidon was £2100 (or £2500)
and cruise would be standard but what about :-

Apex (inc spare)
Traction Control
Trafficmaster
Sports Leather

Apex alloys - Standard on SE facelift models

Traction Control was a cost option for the SE, an extra £325

Trafficmaster driver alert was included, but Smartnav was an extra cost option

Black Sports Leather was standard on the SE.

Thanks Mate,

So the spec for the SE was well the worth the extra initial price.

And was Poseidon (Being Chromactive) £2100 or £2500, seen both amount quoted.

Would there have been a charge for the apex spare?

I have an early price list from the 1st October 1999.
If you compare this to later price lists, the cars were significantly more expensive back then!

£23,122 for mine with the options now added.

It seems strange to me that there wasn't a greater take up of some of the perceived more desirable options at New.In the greater scheme of things they seem very reasonable bearing in mind the basic cost of the cars

Powerfolds £125
Rear blind £200
Electric sunroof £525
