Right curiosity has really got the better of me, it has now been 3 years since I sold her and I am desperate to know where she is - I know she's still on the road after a bit of digging (which is a relief!)

Anyone know anything? Seen it? Anyone on here? (long shot!)

Not seen it but you made me look twice mine is a 2.2 sport and vrm begins RV51 however mine is Zilver in colour.

Any idea what area it went to?

Haha!

Actually can't remember where the guy said he lived permanently, think it was more Surrey way, but said he was always passing through my area (Bracknell, Berks) as he had relatives here. Never seen it since though!

beautiful car

why did you sell that

Honestly... I really don't have a good reason. I had it for 5 years, bought it from a dealer on 17k miles 18 months old, sold with 97k. It had not quite bottomed out on price and thought it was still sellable with those miles. Also probably afraid that big bills were around the corner and I do a lot of miles and petrol was really starting to rocket up.

It was still almost perfect - always garaged, serviced properly and drove as good as when I picked it up (actually better to be honest) and in hindsight I was a bit hasty in getting rid.

It did pave the way to getting the TVR though

id love a tvr cerbera 4.5

Cerberas are brutal! I do prefer the sound of my Rover V8 though

I was close to getting a Z3MC before the TVR - that's still on my list I think. First Z3 I ever drove was a S50 Z3M

M6's are very good value at the moment, also M5s. So tempting - but you need to be brave for the running costs!

yes not cheap to run a v10!

i dont think i could part with the z3m its unique.

I wouldn't either, it's gorgeous. Also as you say they are rare, and they will definitely be a future classic

Kieran

Good to see you back on here, mate. Long time no speak!

I think you are secretly yearning for a Zed again.

Just buy one. You can get a lot of Zed for little £ now.

Hey Conor! Good to hear from you

Still got your ///M then? I know the prices of Zeds are really tempting me back into one again

Oh yeah, I've still got Hamish and I'm still grinning.
