Maldives blue, they polish up a treat & my first Zed.

Suggest a £129+vat RAC inspection would at least give u either peace of mind, more bargaining leverage or to look elsewhere

Welcome to the forum OP.

That looks like a good deal so long as the car checks out when you see it.

Forum member ducklakeview is based in Cheshire and does all sorts of useful things for Z4s! He cut and coded a Bentley-style flip key for mine last year, and reviving and relocating roof motors is another of his specialities!

Good luck with the viewing.

engine was sweet and silent.....

Service
Oil Leak looked at.
Roof fixed
Suspension refresh. Check the state of the bushes at least.
Water Pump
Tyres

Deep clean.

Absolutely pal. Easy fixes too and at least the roof motor is working. Check the lever on the motor that the red ring pull attaches too. Even if the lever in the boot is in its place the one on the motor can be stiff due to lack of use.
Couple of hundred quid will sort your issues I would say depending on the roof issue.

Enjoy your summer pal
