You can't

Franco custom-made it for his car.

More info here (including a few members, myself included, begging him to make one for me!)

Some interesting views on this thread http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthread.php?t=267560 about fitting a strutt brace to the 75/ZT.

The popular opinion seems to suggest that apart from looking good it won't serve any purpose

I've recently bought a rear anti roll bar,something that was deleted in project drive

I doubt it makes very much difference BUT every chassis flexes to *some* degree - the 75 / ZT is very VERY stiff, but if it were a reasonable price (say £50), every little helps imo.

I may be wrong, but I'm sure i remember someone else retro-fitting rear anti-roll bar on a project drive car and finding that it handled like a shot giraffe as spring and / or dampers are different.

This cars a steal at that price, Franco really takes care of that car and it's in fantastic condition. Anyone wondering about travelling to see it, your journey won't be wasted and I guarantee the the first person with the money to see it will buy it!.

There are certainly good deals to be done on this forum
and H20 looks like "Deal of the Century"

for the record, I made initial enquiries to buy but was told someone else was interested, since then the trail has gone cold and I have heard nothing further, so I looked elsewhere in the end and am now fixed up with a 190, maybe its sold but Francoh hasnt updated the thread ?

Just to inform all the car is still for sale, I've had a few people interested and I email them back but don't hear from them after that. Trebor did you not get my email saying I could meet you at a service station to let you see the car? If anyone is interested in the car then feel free to pm me. I have no problem with meeting up if anyone wants to view the car.
