    Strange, I thought 75 V8's got a premium as much rarer

    Yes I thought 75's were usually a bit more expensive (But still far too cheap for the quality of car!!)

    maybe thats the difference between buyers guides, and reality. They are not always the same with specialised cars like ours

    Been searching some car valuation sites, interestingly the 75 V8 in some cases is almost £1500.00 cheaper than the ZT V8, With the 75 V8 being an auto would that make the difference in price or are there other things that make the 75 cheaper?

    Malcolm the owner told me quite openly that his 75 V8 has a little damage on the chrome surround premium grille and little bit too on the honeycombe grille, so it does not help as the parts are very rare if not impossible to get hold of.
    TF160 snap! Used to cover many miles in 414's when we had them in the works car pool.

    I'm sure you could find the parts via here

    I have not come across anybody who has superior knowledge than us as a collective. With networking there are very few people I would rate with the V8 knowledge, funny enough they are all on here. Ian Pogson being the latest honorary member to join. We'll get him into ownership at some point MAHMAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!

    The point to the above is with the lack of knowledge the prices are going to be all over the place based purely on poor demand. Someone who has done their 'homework' will get a corker of a car.

    Some men see things as they are and say why - I dream things that never were and say why not.

    I certainly hope that's on a 'cash for questions' basis. After all, I'd like this place to adhere to the democratic principles that we are all ruled by in our day-to-day lives ...
