    hi pal
    according to rimmers the 260 body shell has a different part number from the stardard zt,but we already know that as a collective.
    the very honest answer is i dont know,
    i think it may do but i am not certain,
    perhaps ringing a rover parts franchise may help,we still have a mg/rover parts franchise in huddersfield,that way you could get part numbers for both towbars for both body shells.
    anyway i dont want any money for it,its worth a go if its free.
    cheers

    Wow, great! Thank you, Linden! Where are you living in the UK? Or would it be possible to send it, if I pay you the post&package? What about the electrics? Is it possible to clip it just to the wires of the rear lights, or is there a socket for it on the car?

    It's the same part for all of the 75 range, whatever the engine or bodyshell. You have to replace the crashbar and run the electrics up to the lightswitch on the dash

    I didn't do that - I just plumbed it into the rear light cluster. Everything is in the boot. Also, it definitely sticks out longer on the ZT than it did on the ZT-T. And... exhausts (one or two) make no difference...

    I have a Witter detachable on my ZTT 260. It works well. You will be able to locate Witter via their website
