Roadster - well done sir :thumbsup:

First photo had me worried though - top should be firmly down this time of year. Hardtops very snug in winter but a lot of us drop the top all year round - the heater and heated seats make it an all year roadster but this has to be balanced against the security of the hardtop ... but by late autumn you'll know what feels right for you!

Welcome to the forum, great looking roadster and came with a hard top - big bonus, as they are hard to come by and expensive :thumbsup:

Crazy Harry - first shot right after collecting him and had to drive from Newcastle down to London with it on, it came straight off the first sun ray that popped out! :D

Thanks. They are fab wheels. All credit to former forum owner Fat Fella who gave him some special upgrades and kept him in pristine condition and well loved for many years.

Can anyone recommend a nice wash and wax approach?
The London streets have left him grubby after only 3 weeks!!

Also potholes and speed humps everywhere, the perils of a lowered Z!!

Looking good Ma'am - welcome
Had to smile when you said 'he' was grubby. I think to us males the pride and joy is always a 'she' :D
