Re: My Z3 2.8 for sale
Hi All, Just to say that due to continuing lack of use and with work commitment, the car for this year and certainly next year would get little further usage. Please follow link to the advertisement and I would consider offers obviously. http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/detail/motors/classic-car...
