Thank you for the welcome folk and thanks JK. I didn't know the name of the colour, as I haven't got the V5 yet. I have spent the day making it 'mine,' cleaning inside and out and a coat of polish. The colour made talking my wife into the deal a little easier - she loves it. You can even see her in the picture, taking pics to send to her friends.
I had an MG Midget when I was young and loved it, but had to sell it to put double glazing in our house. After that, it was sensible cars - the kind which will carry a pushchair and kids. Things lightened up when children grew up and I have driven an Audi cab for the past six years - still ferrying the family around at times (they had moved out mostly), but wanted some fun in my motoring. But now the kids (and grandkid) don't need me anymore, I thought it was time. I have drooled over the Z4 for years and now I have one:~). I bet they suddenly want me again now:~)
