    It has sat there for a little while. I really think the Higher Tax puts people off. I am sure as it has been sitting there a deal could be had. I think it would be a perfect car for the market abroad where I don't think the tax differs as much between a 2005 & 2006 car.

    Just had a quick look for road tax in The Netherlands. For a ZT V8 or Rover 75 V8 your looking at roughly Euro 1100 (£895) a year regardless of year of registration

    Which is roughly £1.37 and £1.10

    Diesel has always been cheaper in The Netherlands but the roadtax on diesel cars is higher than on petrol

    For example a ZT CDTi will be about Euro 1900 (£1550)

    paid the same in Germany for Diesel over the Christmas break, but then it was at a place close to Holland. Further into Germany it was more like 1.50 Euro's / litre

    Can up that a bit.
    In Ireland annual tax for a car over 3,000 cc is €1,809!
    2008 and later is co2 based. Over 225 gCO2 an eye watering €2,350 annual tax

    Cost of Petrol is €1.60. Diesel €1.52.

    To register a v8 cost ca 50% of what you paid abroad for it.

    Always amazes me to see uk drivers focus so hard on road tax when it is so relatively cheap there and is a very small % of the annual cost.

    Lesson don't let the greens near car taxes!

    For the sound track it is still probably worth it!

    They have another for sale according to their website. Owned by them since the summer? I did see it parked up and in use around the area but looks like they are now cashing in??

    as i mentioned in another post, I went to see an MGZT v8 in black from them but before I made my mind up it went. Nice outfit, must have cost them some money to build and run the place. Its the only place local that has a 4 wheel rolling road. they were setting up a hill climb car when I was their. I looked at a 75 Contempory recently down south, thought of buying it for an investment but it was a poor mans MGZT. I think the Conn SE model is the 75 to have as a collectors future car?? They must be more valuable than the MGZT if they made so few?
