V8 review on Youtube

CDTi · 21st November 2008, 13:07

Just spotted this today. I haven't seen it posted on here before:

I thought the V8s didn't have any air control wheel below the centre vents (dunno the proper name for it

). However the car in this one has (see 1.42 on the clip).

Enjoyed that

Early ones didn't but they had sorted it out in later models.

only the rover v8 have the wheel because of having the automatic gearbox, all the zt v8 don't have it, just have the V8 badge instead

Thanks for clarification.
Never realised the difference with gearbox and make before.

That's a thoroughly enjoyable video. Seem to recall seeing it before somewhere but it's one of those that's good to watch every time round though

iirc that's the NZ based V8. The current owner is a 260's member

Nice video,

A Contemporary SE in Starlite Silver, fitted with a Symphony radio, I think that if sold in Britain would be fitted with Hi Line sat nav. [don't think it would work in New Zealand]
It's also fitted with a leather steering wheel, in Britain it would be a wood/leather wheel.

Anyway, both drivers liked the car, then, who could blame them.

liked the review, that fat curly haired idiot should take a leaf out of his book.

Not sure he was correct about the BMW rear end.

Whilst I love Black olive, and the mark 1 ZT front end , I do like the look of the premium front end
