The Exclusive Club Maldives II

Post by Zedebee » Mon Oct 03, 2022 8:19 pm

Looking at the original “The Exclusive Club Maldives” thread, I don’t see any of the original membership who are still active, although I am happy if the contrary is true.
viewtopic.php?t=32071&hilit=Club+maldives

Therefore, as I believe Maldives Blue owners have a common interest, I hope you will join me in declaring yourself as a proud owner of a Maldives Blue E85 and posting up a photo in evidence.

GreySquirrel 2.2i, 103s
MaldivesMax 3.0i S with matching hardtop, 107s (Netherlands)
M453 2.5i auto (I’m guessing!), 106s (Texas)
Raymond.Harper 03 2.5i manual, 108s
DaveRom 3.0i, 107s (in pieces)
mMark 3.0i manual with matching hardtop, 106s (Netherlands)
TedZ4
Z4mal, 103s
Usel 3.0i auto, 107s
Drunkpanda42 2.5i
Redmex 2.2i
Mr Nurburgring 2.5i, 108s
Dr Zed 04 2.5i manual, MV2s
Sludgepump 53 3.0i auto, 103s
FunkyGBrown 03 2.5i manual
Bigwinn (ex 03 2.5i manual, 05 2.2i manual, 04 2.5i manual)
Zedebee 53 3.0i auto, 103s (ex 03 2.5i manual, 03 2.5i manual)

Here’s my third, a 3.0i auto, in the process of being brought back to full Maldives Blue loveliness.

Mine on the left, 2.5i bought from Zedebee himself. On the right is my friend's 2.2i Zed, the colour match was a complete coincidence..
