    Quite a few variables but if you have the parts, not bothered about the cost and good mechanical skills. Could get a 75 and convert the spec to a ZT.

    There was a lad selling a 260 last year which he had converted to look in every way like the Rover version, apart from the 5 speed box. He had wanted a Rover with a manual box. So I guess it was cheaper to do it that way than get Rover and put a manual box in. Curious. It looked great though

    Found Index in some old accounts MJ 04 HWB bought from Burndon park Motors Oldham with 35 miles on it. Sold to someone who was thinking of racing it with about 40,000 miles on her.
