I would check exhaust first for loose or corroded exhaust mounts as they can carode on Zeds with the exhaust coming adrift, maybe check rear suspension top mounts and these can start to rattle.

Try pulling the handbrake on a click or two whilst driving the car. If that stops the rattle, your handbrake need adjusting.
