What is the difference in weight between a SE and non-SE ZT 260?
I presume the non-SE would be lighter ?

I've read somewhere on the forums the SE is 100kg heavier which I can believe, I bet the electric seats, rear electric windows and sunroof account for a lot of that. That's 4 bags of cement to lug around all the while! As VXman said for starters the tv won't work and I just prefer having less to go wrong in the first place
The desire to modify a vehicle is a disease that can only be treated with more modifications
I wonder how many don't have a sunroof?
My old car was a non SE but was fitted with a sunroof, might be a long search.

Hi George,
I am about to sell my 260 and if you're interested, it ticks most of your boxes. Basic car details as follows,
ZT 260 X-Power grey, Reg Sept 2004.
Apex alloys, Bridgestone Potenza tyres.
FSH Mot to 27/09/14.
6 months tax.
VIN No 689.
Price £5750.
I bought the car new from Phoenix Coventry and, like you, wanted my V8 without traction control. Phoenix seemed puzzled at this stipulation but I told them I would not buy the car if it had traction control. I'm so glad I insisted as the car drives and handles like a dream and behaves beautifully. The car is basic inside- no sunroof, no satnav, wind up rear windows and a Kenwood radio/cd player. With the chrome touches and lack of clutter, the cabin is stylish and retro-just how I like it. It does have air-con, but more often than not, I drive with this switched off and the windows open. I get to hear more of the engine that way. As you know, such a basic model is a rare beast and I believe the combination of no traction control, lack of options but with Apex alloys makes my motor unique! It looks stunning and if the look fails to turn heads, the rumble of the V8 doesn't!
We have looked after the car really well over the nine years, especially the bodywork. The oil has been changed religiously every 5000 miles and the majority of the cars miles have come from distance or motorway driving. Highlights include a trip to Biarritz (the French loved the 260) and the Scottish Highlands (driving my car through mountains was very special) I had a water pump in the air con system replaced a couple of years ago and the brake discs replaced, but other than that, the car has been very reliable. It sailed straight through it's MOT two weeks ago and is set up for the next year.
So why am I selling this machine? Family circumstances have changed and I'd be happy to talk you through this if you wish, but suffice to say, I am selling it with a heavy heart! My intention is to take some photos of the car over the weekend and to advertise it on this site and Auto Trader early next week. If you are interested in the car and want to see it, etc, I would be prepared to hold fire for a few days as you sound like the kind of guy who would really appreciate my 260. My email address is; billkelly399@live.co.uk. My mobile number is deleted by Herman if you want to ask any questions about the car. I live between Leicester and Coventry just off the M69 so convenient for motorway network. If I don't hear from you over the next couple of days, I'll proceed with the adverts.
Regards,
Bill
