The shift knob is not a standard ZHP shift knob, but instead an M3 style one with a separate shift boot. The boot leather is in excellent condition, as is the shift knob and emblem.

Well that confirms it to me, perforated wheel means leather boots in the later models, if I knew that when I bought my ZHP I would have known it was a ZHP at the time!

Yup, my '06 vert, all leather, perforated steering wheel.

I bought my ZHP by mistake as well. The dealer in TX thought it was a regular 330CI and had it listed for 12k as it needed tires, and the rims repaired. I ended up getting it for 12K shipped to FL and invested about 4K in tires, wheels, and replacing all the fluids, belts, and brake sensors. The car still looks as good as the day it rolled out of the show room

Hey Johnd sorry for the delayed response, that is awesome mistake!! It seems a lot of dealers price these cars very differently, I see them here for any were between 20K down to around 10ish. I assume the shipping wouldn't be cheap, that's a great deal. And I bet ZHP from TX must be a clean rust free car. What kind of rims and tires did you go with?
