V8
Column for February 2007 V8 garage  Joe Bannister reports he is enjoying his ZTT 260 V8 (Solar Red 0231) a great deal but he is also very fond of his MGBGTV8 (Black Tulip 0120) which was a press car. Joe would like to find out more about the ZTT 260 V8 so we are trying to encourage the twenty or so members who have joined the V8 Register with that model to begin contributing to a new series of ZTTV8NOTES. Joes says "In many ways the ZTT 260 V8 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 MGBGTV8 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!"
