ZTT
260 V8 and an MGBGTV8
 Solar Red 0231 is the estate version of the ZTT 260 V8 Joe Bannister reports he is enjoying his ZTT 260 V8 a great deal and is managing to get 27mpg - presumably driving with a gentle right foot! He is also very fond of his MGBGTV8 (Black Tulip 0120) which was a press car. |

Here are a few shots of HOH and the ZTT; the cars together and the ZTT in Wales, plus one of HOH with my co driving colleague as we break at a local hostelry en route back to Weybridge after this year's Regency Run. I do not profess any engineering background but am curious to find out more about the ZTT 260. In many ways the ZT 260 seems to me to be a modern interpretation of the MGBGTV8. The engine is low stress and with 260 BHP certainly not tuned hard. The two cars drive similarly allowing for size, save that the BGT gearbox is nicer to use. Most surprising I find that driven smoothly I am getting some 27 or so MPG from the ZTT; not quite as good as HOH, but that is progress and it makes the car a very acceptable as well as enjoyable drive!
