What a shame another Z1 bites the dust this car registered as a cat b break only and it looks like its headed to Europe.

Does anyone know what happened.

Ouch!

I'd say that was some kind of external fire that the poor Z1 happened to be caught up in..... Not much of any significance that can catch at the back end otherwise.

And a Magic Violet car too. How rare is a Magic Violet hard-top for goodness sake?

Is this from the UK? A purblau RLE with hardtop sold on PH a few years ago, hope it's not that.

Yes it's in the uk.Don't think it was a RLE.
I'm with Sam in thinking that the car was Damaged by being too close to a fire. What a shame.

Some insurance companies automatically class fire damaged vehicles as Cat B.

This car did not appear to have much interior damage but I bet you could smell smoke on all the trim. Which in the eyes of the repairer would all need replacing.

You`ve been saying that for years Minks, come to the next Z1 tour, you can drive mine, LHD is not a problem.

Just dont scratch my wheels

Unfortunately a spot light fell onto this Zed whilst it was covered with a car cover.

You cant beat a Z1 in Green. Even BMW knew that Yellow and Purple would only appeal to a small market. Purple is for sure the worst colour they made, thats why people dont take them out

Whats wrong with Yellow? They look good I think.

apollo · Post by **apollo** » Tue 31 Jan, 2012 21:24

I wouldnt even call it yellow, maybe a half hearted attempt-but not Yellow.
I am surprised that no one believes how this purple zed caught fire- I sh*t you not, this car caught fire when a spotlight fell onto it whilst covered with a car cover.

Its Lemon Green, the only colour the Camo interior compliments and with a set of Black concave 18s or dished silver 17s, I will have a set of each.

Green is nice, but they are everywhere.

Magic Violet is a like Parma Violets some people like them and some people think they taste of washing powder. I like them both.
