This is true. Although he claims to have a BHP printout hmm

He may well have a print out, but there are rollers, and rollers if you get my drift.

Ashley don't appear to have ever made an exhaust for a zs.

very believable if its a calculated fly figure (which can be miles from the truth), but I bet the wheel hp is around 150bhp tho.

Dealer edition's of standard models was common in the 70's
As for 197 bhp? It's possible as we all know but weather this has a proper 197 bhp or a dyno calculated 197 is unknown. My own 180 did increase from 175 to 195bhp with breathing mods and a remap.

Mine had a printout for 194bhp with de cat stainless exhaust filtration system and a bloody remap so a bit more than this ones had.

Mpg claims are miles off. My 180 only did 27 mpg on my daily commute. On the Motorway at 70 it returned around 35mpg driving like Miss Daisy

I got a 40mpg run on the motorway (cumbria to norfolk) so not entirely impossible.

Derv ratios would work nicely in that favour but I wouldn't want to change the dynamics of the car!

212 miles on 24.62L of petrol. Double that for (almost) a tank (55L) 424 miles.
I also did have a blast down the m6 toll and two stops in there.
So possible I reckon.

I dont think a special edition would be changed to have derv ratio's

No wasn't saying it would be.
Mines on standard box and you know they can be frugal when given the chance.

He must never have caned it!
I'll see what I can get from it on Friday afternoon on the run down.
(Depending on how long it'll take at the speed limit all the way from carlisle to kings Lynn (pending the removal of the stuff))
