ZF gearboxes

[Vista]

Looks like a nice toy - is it?

 

Good ones are excellent but rough ones are hugely problematic and expensive to put right. The main problem is the mechanical fuel injection system which is far more advanced (and hence complex than the Lucas offerings on Triumph PIs). I've had mine for about 2 1/2 years and am finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel. They're no sports car, more of a GT car but they go well and sound fabulous.

Well the noise is part of the whole experience... Looks really different too, I don't think I've ever seen one - how many are in the UK?

There was only about 180 RHD examples ever made worldwide. I'd guess at under 100 or so left in the UK with some of them being LHD examples.

 

Here's mine
