Welcome Jake, I recommend taking up membership of the MGOC. Full access to the two-sixties forum is a valuable asset.
And congratulations for the brave choice ! It is not an easy car to own and run on the continent. But it's possible if you are a handy enthusiast or have a competent (read: old school) and reasonably-priced mechanic. In my honest opinion (some on the 75/ZT website will disagree), the V8 is a smarter choice than the V6, because Ford parts will be more easily available. And the Two-sixties have been very good at re-sourcing or manufacturing V8-specific parts. And of course the sound and handling of the V8 are so much more fun.
One big upside for LHD owners is the ample legroom and the driver footrest.

Thanks for the warm welcome lads, i will certainly get the MGOC membership as soon as i can. Im off to do the last drain tube, cut the rear duckbills off and maybe regrease my front brake caliper pins for kicks.
Enjoying having a fun car again after two years in the four cylinder japanese car wilderness...
Does anyone know of any other owners in Finland?

HELMI posted this on 14.01.2007,Nich.Here in Finland we have two ZT 260 ;the other is mine and the other is for sale at former Rover dealer who sells still Land Rovers there are also three ZT-T 260 for sale and a Rover V8. These cars have been for sale over 18 months, so the demand is not so big!
One Rover V8 is also on road.
All these cars, except the Rover on the road are former MGRover Germany's demonstrators.
I bought mine directly.
