"51" 1.9 Z3 requires loving owner
Hi
Well I'm afraid there's no going back now the family have decided a larger family car is required for the Uni ‘runs and the horse I can get away with it no longer the Zed must go to new home. So if you know anyone how would like my Zed I’m asking £4.595 ono. Just put it up Autotrader.

These products are intended to be used on the original Z3 roof. I don't know about replacement roofs, but having them sopping wet makes them very ...

You too it must be the weather we are having, I should have put the roof up while it was still warm, I contacted Soft Tops in Coventry they say it will be some time before they do the work, they have a lot on at the moment. Does any one know of a place near Peterborough.
