Hi,

After being without a Zed for over a year, I've found and brought an early(?) 2003 Roadster 3.0i.
Sterling Grey, 118,000 miles, fair bit of service history and pretty tidy for it's age.
During my 120 mile drive home the grin on my face told it all really. The power / acceleration of the straight six motor, and the exhaust noise / growl when the go faster peddle is given a healthy right foot nudge - awesome!!
Here's to many more grin factor miles.
Few pics....... :thumbsup:....will get some more if and when it stops raining.

Not bad for a 14 year old car!

That's a tidy specimen.

These cars don't show their age. Look at an SLK that's the same age and it will look dated.
