Default MK1 or MK2

My choice is the MK1 I think the retro looks stand out from the crowd the lights especially

I've owned both - Mk1 75 and current Mk2 ZT.
I personally prefer the retro twin headlight look on a 75, but I think the facelift front end suits the ZT more.
At the end of the day though it's all down to personal preference.

I find it rare that any facelift of any make/model improves the look. Hence I prefer the Mark 1, but own 2 of each so that they will last a bit longer, hopefully!

Mk 1 for me. Apart from the jacking points, It seems better built all round than my previous Mk 2.

Generally the MK2 but the Zt's front grill on a MK1 does look good. I think the MK1 grill is the problem on an ordinary 75

I agree - slash lights are just a means to reduce production costs in all marques - don't like bumper car lights either

Cool

Mk1 without hesitation, Cowley built 75 indeed, mesh grill & whole walnut & sandstone leather. In one word: mine!
