That looks gorgeous!

I do think that the hardtop really suits the car - that's why I've just put mine onto my daily driver.

That looks like a very rare Marcos Mantis in the first picture.

Designed by Stevie Wonder I believe.

Coming home tonight, I stopped at the services on the A50 in between Derby and Donnington at around 6.15pm-ish. Saw this nice looking blue Zed. I think it was a 2.8 and the registration ended with PJP Was it you? http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j207/pdykins/cid_C3F66255-387D-47ED-AF0A-C3C22EC51707...

That CSL is absolutely gorgeous and is on my bucket list (although I fear they may be too expensive even now

)

...the Z is nice too!

107.000 miles on my 2000 2.0.

...and 31,000 of that was since last August!

Can anyone beat that for an annual mileage in their Z?

Grrr :cry: Went to close my door and the grab handle has come away from the door card :| On closer inspection, it looks as though it had broken before as a previous owner appears to have attempted to glue it into position :roll: Is this a common problem? I wonder if I can buy a new handle, securing ...

Traffic was bad (as usual) on the M6 this afternoon so came home in my Z through part of Newcastle under Lyme It was worth it to be behind this beauty :) :bow For some reason, Youtube didn't upload in HD, so select HD on the film. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLWJ6WKdxW4&feature=c4-overview&am...

Nice looking Z Nice car, the hardtop looks great on these cars Can't understand why many others don't have them. I prefer the look of the z3 with one, even more than the coupe. So very true. I also prefer mine with the hardtop on. But sssshh. Keep it quiet. There are those on here who think that you...

TR4man

I'll have a glass of whatever you guys are drinking please... Spring/Summer = ragtop prices increase Autumn/Winter = ragtop prices fall ....unless the car is a "classic" and I fear that Z3s are a long way off achieving that label. .......and don't forget that asking prices can be whatever ...

TR4man

Hopefully I'll never find out

Registration began with "LEZ" and I followed you for a few miles from Newport to Hinstock tonight at around 5.45pm.

On the car park at Asda in Shotton (North Wales border) a silver 1.9. Couldn't resist parking next to you :) Yes, hoods are up but believe me when I say that you would not want to leave your hood down and risk anything going walkies. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j207/pdykins/Z3/cid_4EED67CE-471...

TR4man

How can people drive a z3 with the top up in weather like this. They were made for this. I use my Zed each day for work. Have had the hood down every evening last week on the return journey (on Friday, all the way from Wiltshire) but I never have it down on the way to work - otherwise I'll arrive a...

TR4man

Dunno why it has posted twice - my sausage fingers I suppose!

TR4man

In a funny sort of way, you may find that such a low mileage would put some potential buyers off. Not using a car can be very harmful to it and you may find that your Dad starting it up rather than taking it for proper drives is making the situation worse. Forgive me saying this, but its a car for g...

Duplicate posting

TR4man

Yes, it is the "Z3" that I'm after, not the roundel.

Forgive my ignorance, but if I get a "previously owned" one will it still stick?

What a great trip!

Keep the updates coming if only to make us jealous.

That's a nice looking pizza delivery girl in your last photo

Oh, I've just noticed that your car is in the photo too!

TR4man

I know I can buy it off Ebay but I was shocked that each letter is £19.72, so nearly £40 for a Z3 badge seems a little excessive.

Can it be got elsewhere for less?

This evening on the way home I was in a Zed sandwich.

In front of me a black (?) Z3 registration P11BYR, and behind me a black Z4 registration M11BYR

Around 5.20ish on the way from Sandycoft to Broughton, near Chester.

We must have made a nice looking convoy

It looks a very nice car - good luck with the sale.

The only comment I'd make on the advert (if you don't mind me saying) is that there is no photo of the interior.

10 months. From having company cars of some description for the last 22 years or so, redundancy at the age of 53 and after seven months without a permanemt job I was offered one without a car but with an allowance instead. I bought my little Zed from a specialist car dealer in Northwich to use as an...

Firstly I was behind a silver 1.9 P169MOJ on the A350 from Chippenham to Melksham at around 07.15.

After you had turned off as I continued on the Westbury road another silver Z3 came from the opposite direction B2GDD.

Anyone we know?

It does not state in the advert that your car is a CAT D.

You will never get a decent price from these people.

They are there to make a profit on buying your car as cheaply as possible and then selling it on.

They deal with what one might term "bread and butter" cars and appeal to those who are desperate for some money.

It looks like some ar*e covering to me i.e. they should be checking something but are unable to do so because of the undertrays and covers.

I gave the paint code to my local Halfords for them to mix me up a touch-up bottle - but the match was very poor. I understand that professional motor paint factors should be able to get a closer match, but to be honest, my car now has so many chips that I'm probably going to get a paint shop to do ...

I'm optimistically hoping that summer is just around the corner and I'd like to buy a wind break.

I'd appreciate any advice as to whether the perspex or the net version is the one to have.

Lastly, what do people consider high milage? I understand that the average mileage by UK motorists is 11,000 miles per year, so you could say if your car has had more than that, then it is high mileage. Don't let high mileage put you off. If your car has been regularly and sympatheically serviced a...

You should be embarrassed for not using it more! It is like owning a racehorse and not letting it out of the stable. I find reaching the pedals rather difficult when I am working in another country. :wink: Cheers R. Now that's a pretty feeble excuse. PM me your address and I'll whizz around tomorro...

Congrats on the 100k - at my present rate of annual mileage I should get there around 2020. :D Cheers R. You should be embarrassed for not using it more!

Happy momentous day! :nerd: Those dials are definitely from an S50 ///MR. The S50 was the only (UK spec) model to have that logo on the dial and I'm not sure that your 2.0 would reach 155mph as the speedo suggests! The dash pod must've been swapped out at some time, and not an easy job because AFAI...

TR4man

Stupot 50 - no it's just a bog-standard 2.0 wide body, but I think that the dials (and the steering wheel, gear knob and gaitor) with the ///M logos are all original factory fitted extras. Unless of course someone knows better!

Zedcarer - spot on!

An important milestone for my little Zed occured today - it reached 100,000 miles. I bought it last August with 81,000 miles and have done 19,000 in nine months :) I did something silly and recorded the event for posterity (see below :oops: ) but I couldn't let the occasion pass by. http://i81.photo...

I think that the issue is that our Zeds are not (yet) seen as classics by the majority of the car buying public. At best, they are seen as just a cheap, old car and the majority of which are not sympathetically driven or maintained. I have no doubt that the Zed's time will come, but it is not yet :(...

Did you get to do the Snake Pass?

Still a great driving road despite the speed cameras.

We are gong there in the Stag today for "Drive It Day" along with other Triumphs, Morgan's and Jaguars.
