    Non SE was basic spec, no electric rear windows as well as no everything else, SE had everything almost...

    PS the weight saving is mainly in the sunroof or lack of, but a lot of non SEs had sunroofs as an extra...

    Well... dinks and donks are about £60 a panel, wheel refurb is about £50 each, TV is a waste of space and the satnav not much better, and what's the issue with manual rear windows when you will always be in the front?

    Sounds fine...

    I looked at a 260 before I got a 75 V8 and it had manual rear windows. So they are around. In my experience just stops the kids messing..... The guy who was selling the 260 said with it being basic there is a lot less to go wrong.

    Interesting! in Germany all 75 / ZT have rear electric windows and auto AC.
    But it is not hard to mount electric rear windows and heated memoryseats afterwards

    That is, if the wiring is in place. Otherwise it could be a bit of an exercise......

    No TC? Oh what a shame

    As for windy rear windows, well they're Old School and my kidults hardly go in the back these days anyway - most of the time they sit in the front if I take them anywhere, or if we go out as a family it's in the wife's Jeep as she doesn't like a hard ride (the Bilstein 260 shocks I put in, you filthy lot)

    Anyway, I'm viewing on thursday, so with any luck, I'll be going greener by the weekend

    Cheers for the steers

    PS: Anyone know the VIN or any history on this car?
