Thinking of selling my Zed

The wife has applied for a position Back in Washington state where we own a home. I would like to take back a car that is something a little unusual. So thinking of selling the Zed. If she's not hired. We will remain in Germany for two more years. I would still be looking to sell the Zed and drive a classic in Germany should we stay.
Was looking at something along the lines of these.
Any thoughts? Things to look out for with any of the cars posted in general. Or Westfields.

My only restriction is that it must be 1990 or older. As then I'm not restricted on the spec of the car. Government reg. states this: A motor vehicle that is at least 25 years old can be lawfully imported into the U.S. without regard to whether it complies with all applicable FMVSS. Such a vehicle would be entered under Box 1 on the HS-7 Declaration form to be given to Customs at the time of importation. If you wish to see that form, you may download a copy from our website at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import. You should note that the 25 year period runs from the date of the vehicle's manufacture. If the date of manufacture is not identified on a label permanently affixed to the vehicle by its original manufacturer, to establish the age of the vehicle, you should have documentation available such as an invoice showing the date the vehicle was first sold or a registration document showing that the vehicle was registered at least 25 years ago. Absent such information, a statement from a recognized vehicle historical society identifying the age of the vehicle could be used.

MBG every day ........of all the sportscars I've owned the MGB was the most fun and reasonable to run/maintain.......and the spare part support includeing complete new bodyshells is without peer.

Of course that would be my choice , not necessarily anyone elses.

If I had the money an early 964 would be in my garage.

To common. I want something that is a bit unusual and not often seen in the states. It wouldn't HAVE to be fast. As that's part of what I don't like about what others see in the Zed. Every time a snot nosed little German (or otherwise) pimple faced kid that see's the Zed is always on my bumper trying to entice me to race. I go fast only when I want to go fast. But sometimes. I just can't help my self. And kick it up a notch. It like the old west gun slinger. everybody want's to have a go.

Back in the US when I had my Porsche 356 speedster replicar. Even the pimple face urchins would admire the car as opposed to trying to have a go at me. Everybody had questions about it. And quite liked it. Even when they found out that it was a replicar. A fact that I refused to hide. Plus I enjoy a visit with folks to talk cars. I miss that. Germany wouldn't allow the speedster in. So i sold it before moving here.

 
Two extremes:


Find a good early mk 1 mx5? Like owning a reliable lotus?

Go for a TVR Griffith/Chimeara and a good mechanic?

:driving: :thumbsup:
