Web site says only 50 licensed last year in the UK (still more than I expected) so a bit of a rarity - wasn't ChrisD after something out of the ordinary?

For £45k a well healed Zed enthusiast could still enjoy a few weekends a year in it. :driving: :thumbsup:
Possibly, within another generation it could become too pricey to insure and enjoy on the road :(

I‘m not in any position to criticise you understand - my 33 month old 35is has only 8.5k on the clock!
Only a fair weather motoring vehicle.

Different strokes for different folks Ron, some would baulk at using the Z1 on a regular basis, the enjoyment would be fettling, keeping it in good nick, mileage low, for others it would be a car to be used, there's no right or wrong way so long as its gives pleasure :thumbsup:
