Hi Andy, I saw that Estebes mentioned two V8 in Holland advertised by Roto Garage BV. I've got the VIN numbers of these cars: The Rover 75 V8 got VIN-number 000799 with the colour brown and dutch licenceplate 62-RH-ZG; The MG ZT-T got VIN-number 000707 with the colour black and dutch licenceplate 74-RX-VB; I also looked at current ZT 260's for sale in Holland. These are the ones I found: Licenceplate - VIN - colour: 20-PJ-BD 000590 blue 73-PS-DJ 000663 black 18-PJ-BD 000569 blue 69-PR-ZD 000728 grey 04-RF-LV 000832 black 64-PX-JZ 000735 grey 54-PP-VH 000710 green All of these cars are LHD. Hope you can add this to the VIN list. Eric

thank you Eric, good to see our cars out and about

[ColinE]

Excellent - many thanks!

Have been looking for a 260 here but the all have a high mileage (or kilometrage..:D..) I am used to have my steering wheel on the 'wrong side' so I am looking in the UK for a nice Mk 2 with FSH and low mileage. I'am kind of a collector with 8 Triumph's, a classic Mini, VdPlas Princess 1300 and a few rare model Nissan's. In Holland it looks like everybody is driving dull german sedans so it nice to be different with a 260..:D...

[AndyG]

Thank you :kiss

Just to put in a format I can work with easier:

75 V8 VIN 799 brown dutch licenceplate 62-RH-ZG;
MG ZTT VIN 707 black dutch licenceplate 74-RX-VB;

Licenceplate - VIN - colour:
20-PJ-BD 590 blue
73-PS-DJ 663 black
18-PJ-BD 569 blue
69-PR-ZD 728 grey
04-RF-LV 832 black
64-PX-JZ 735 grey
54-PP-VH 710 green
All of these cars are LHD.

I will enter in lists tomorrow:)

Also know a Rover 75 V8 still standing ( for years now) in a showroom nearby...post you the VIN-number asap...

[colintf]

Many thanks for tye info Eric :thumb

[Yo Gurt!!]

Looks like the 04-RF-LV is the brother of my 06-RF-LV. Also a ZT-T btw.
Know the dealer, me and my family have lived within several 100 meters for years.

The Rover 75 V8 I mentioned before standing in a showroom of a MG/Rover dealer is VIN number 837. It's Royal Blue with beige interior and with an auto-gearbox. I spoke to the owner and he said it was the last new one available in Holland. He is asking 62.000 euro's for the car...thats about 52.500 pounds....That's why I am looking for a V8 in GB :D...

[black olive]

I think it will be nice and warm in the showroom for a while

[Coasting]

Why are they so expensive in Europe?

I know they are very rare in LHD but thought the following or lack of would offset this?


Is it just the rarity keeping the prices very high?

[peterv8]

The lefties are nicer to drive.:D
I would think it's the rarity of them, there are not many that want to drive a right hand drive even though I find no problems with it.
I almost bought a right hand drive MK1 before I bought #217. The guy selling had two ZT260's.
I bought the left hand drive cause of the colour and I like the MK2 body, I also think it will be easier to sell but that is not in a near future.

thats sounds very nice, but that is a lot even by European standards!

It's the original selling price in Holland. Don't think that he is ever selling it for that price but the fact that there are only a small amount of LHD will sell to someone who has the money...or the love for british cars..:D

Hi,

This week I read in Holland's leading car-magazines named 'AutoVisie' that its head-editor Ton Roks has bought car # 590 (dutch licenseplate 20-PJ-BD). It has 60.000 km on the clock and reading the article it was a former MG Press-car in Holland in 2004 which he had used to test in those days. I think that there was a test of this car in Autovisie (done in Scotland) but I haven't found it yet.

If I may give an idea: contact Ton Roks (t.roks@autovisie.nl) and try to get some more info about this car. It might also be a a good way to introduce The TwoSixties to him and while he is the head -editor of this magazine.....;)...maybe get some publicity here in Holland.....:D
