Z3 project...no going back now!

[Pondrew]

I presume that linked by Mr Tidy is a Z3 underneath too? It looks beautiful, but they careful avoid showing the engine bay where the BMW roots would be difficult to disguise.

Yes it's a Z3.
That Luddis Currus lot never made a thing (except money). They were a dodgy couple of Croydon car dealers who commissioned a chap called Michael Parker to build a few cars for them back in the early days (2018 ish), just after the original company (DNA Automotive) were shut down by the Italians.
Apparently they were selling these commissioned cars for £125k, which cost them around £30k to be built by Michael. The early cars by Michael were a bit 'rough around the edges' and the car dealers supplied him with the Z3s to convert. Needless to say, they were not the cream of the Z3s available, just the cheapest.

I know Michael Parker as I have bought a few bits from him.

The second to last picture shows the bootlid sitting massively high on the (Z3) hinges too.

That £100k car is not going to be a good one underneath and looks rather 'used' to me. These average conversions are selling for around £40-50k at present so it is massively overpriced.

Edit: I have now read the utter bollox on the advert and am so incensed by the lies that I am going to phone Targa Florio tomorrow and have a word. "Ludis Currus, a renowned coachbuilder". What utter rubbish. And the 'upgraded' foglights, which cost £1,295.00 are Wipac (I know I have the same) and around £40 a pair from any eBay seller.

Interesting to read - you’ve obviously spent a great deal of time researching around building your car.

Perhaps copy trading standards…

Throttle pedal looks very BMW

Indeed, as do the switches in the Ferrari cigarette case mounted behind the gear stick.

Ludis Currus sounds like a character from Life of Brian

Ludicrous, more like
