If you can afford it go for the 385, not many of those about otherwise look down

was only looking at the 385 the other day at high wycombe whilst my 260 was being worked on. here are the pictures i took, wanted to take some more but it disappeared into the workshop.

Oh for some reason I thought that had a multivalve lump in it not just a blower!
Things look proud of the engine bay is the bonnet modified as well?

How much are they asking for that now?
Personally if the 385 is 'just' a blown car I think I would go for Dreadnoughts conversion on a standard car, more are out there, Brians has done 20,000 miles without problem and he must have fitting them down to a fine art by now!

Apparently a deposit has been taken on the car

Is that you making the deposit then?

If not for the same or maybe even less money you can buy a standard power 260 and afford to take it up to dreadnought for one of their superchargers and probably have a fair bit of change left over.

This ZT-T does have a bit of history to it though in as much that it was the only official 385 to go down the production line at Longbridge!

Yes I agree which is what I was getting at in post 2, It does makes you wonder a bit why it is still there and not in a collection as there are quite a few cars in the hands of collecters driven or not

Isn't there someone that is or was on corrie with a couple tucked away somewhere?
