I looked at a few but most were not up to the standard I was seeking. This one ticks all the boxes. I will be replacing the RF tyres with Continental sport 7 all round. The alloys have not been refurbished and look brand new with no cracks. I spent ages under it with a torch and rolling the car to inspect the inside edges as I have been bitten by these before (326M).

I pick it up in the morning so will post photos tomorrow. I did pay over the odds but just couldn't let it go. But I am more than happy so that's all that matters.

Coming back after driving an SLK feels amazing as the SLK was just too boring. :driving:

This was my second Z when I met my wife. So my latest is sentimental too!

That looks lovely - I do like red interiors!

And I can see the nostalgia connection - enjoy. :driving:

A nice mini break to Hereford. A bit dirty but still looks great. The engine and bay look like it’s just out of the show room!

I paid over the odds because I’ve never seen one like it. Absolutely truly immaculate. Everything is just like new. Couldn’t let it go. Heart ruled the head, but I’m comfortable with that. It’s my retirement present. (But now full time again) 😂🤣

Now that is an epic journey. Some day I dream of that kind of driving. 🤔💭👍
