That's interesting.

The platinum 75 I went to look at in Buckinghamshire had the V8 badge, not the thumbwheel.

Therefore I'd just believed (wrongly) they were the same as the ZT 260's.

Now I think of it, the one near me has a thumbwheel too!!

He told me that it had two valves and they only found replacements by taking the part numbers off the old ones, which were the same as the ones on the R45 V6!

So I was right when I though he didn't really know anything. He did seem to be "full of it" so to speak.

10k was a laugh.... 8k is still a chuckle. Basically he bought at auction and lost. (Doubt he will accept that, though).

You never know, if he'll let it go cheap enough I may "rescue" it....

And, yes I'll definitely be a full member - probably before I make the actual purchase!
