With 32 Miles on the clock. That wonderful car is destined to be a peace of Art and probably never fulfil it's potential as a driving machine. So if your into art, worth every penny I guess. It is a lovely thing.

No mention of service history, that would put me off for a start
Beautiful looking roadster though, it’s a shame it’s not been driven and enjoyed instead of being hidden away.

My immediate response was this would be absolutely wasted on me. I’d want to get it out and drive it as much as possible whereas one in this unique condition probably needs to be kept in that condition and that means not in my hands

Agree, that it one sweet ride!
Also agree that if I owned it...it would very quickly (no pun intended) have way more than 32 miles on it.
There is a saying among the classic motorcycle crowd (maybe a similar one among the classic car crowd as well), “ride ‘em don’t hide ‘em.”

I was working at Halliwell Jones BMW Southport when the Z8 was released back in 2000 and we had 2 or 3 pass through the doors, all silver iirc. One I remember in particular went to the wealthy M.D of a large company based in Liverpool. Now this guy liked his BMWs and was a 'keen' driver and had previously had many //M models, 6series, 8series and Alpinas too. Within a month he returned the Z8 which went straight in the showroom and sold again virtually the next day ! On a subsequent visit I got into a quite candid conversation with him about the car. He told me the brakes were weak, the car had an amount of 'float' in the suspension that he thought was unacceptable and that it felt too heavy, too cumbersome. He did like the manual gearbox and the S62 V8 from the E39 M5 ! However, the main reason for his not liking it and returning it was the fact it was left hand drive. He said that as a daily driver or a weekend toy it was massively compromised on UK roads because of this. The very act of sitting on the left, changing gear with the right hand etc was a huge problem in such a car. He had a few near misses whilst pulling out to overtake purely down to the reduced visibility from sitting on the left. I asked him that if they were available in RHD would he have been able to live with it and he said the novelty would probably have worn off quite quickly. He summed it up by saying that as good looking as they are it unfortunately isn't really a 'true' drivers car. Shame
