Just spotted a 'Black Z4 hardtop' for sale here in Holland.
Just spoke with seller but he couldn't advise which black unfortunately, but says it's in great condition.
Going over to his place to take a look right now.

As far as I know it's just a rubber seal that goes all the way around..?
Has I missed somehting?

€600 Euros.
Chuffed to bits. The right colour too! Thought it may have had some damage due to the low asking price but it's just got one stonechip on the leading edge and there's a hint of windnoise front left but it just needs adjusting a bit I think/hope.
Seller threw in the cover aswell. What a diamond geezer,
Just need to get a trolley for when it comes off.

Cheers KIs, all. It's really transformed the car and nice that the hood will be protected over winter too as it'll be parked outside.
The advert, surprised it stuck around a couple of days at this price! Maybe cos he didn't place any photos....

there's a hint of windnoise front left but it just needs adjusting a bit I think/hope.

I sometimes get a wind noise from mine however it's adjusted and it literally seems dependant on which way the wind is blowing.

Cheers mate. Yep, had a few initial trials and tribulations with Betty. Consider this a reward treat for her behaving now. :wink:
Was raining on the drive back from Tiel and felt very cosy

Ik hou van de Marktplaats Guido!

Flipje nog gezien? :lol:

How long have you had your UK plate in NL? They tend to be rather nosy regarding the tax element after 6 months.

Been exploiting the loophole. :wink:
As long as you can prove you travelled back to the cars country of origin at least once every 120 days you dont need to import.
I'm considering importing Betty though and getting her on some Dutch plates. As it's over 10 years old I won't be paying any silly import tax.
Been stopped by the customs gadgies a couple of times now and it's never resulted in anything more than having to produce docs etc.
