It's missing the tailpiece badges that sit on the sides of the tips. I am not 100% sure as you can't see the main badges on the cans, but this could be a Veilside system - I know there are a few people looking for these.

Think that's the same one someone on here bought a few weeks back.

Potentially a good spot there si

 

Now if you could find one for a swb or even better an abflug power superior for swb I'd be very happy.

It is a veilside system but it's already sold a week or 2 ago for a decent price

More over, how the heck did an L. reg get to be such a shed??

I don't understand how any Z gets into such a state of dilapidation. They're specialist vehicles - you'd have pride in buying one and subsequently their upkeep.

The answer to this is surprisingly simple: they were (in some cases, still are) "cheap" to buy. The car in question is an NA to boot, so not as sought-after as a TT.

 

Owner buys it cheap and, in his head, decides that a "cheap car" isn't worth spending a lot on maintenance-wise. So it starts to become a little shedlike!

 

Now the prices are on the rise, people who buy them will (hopefully) no longer think of them as "cheap cars" and subsequently start to look after them. Like the majority of us lot do.

They were sold to cheaply a few years ago and when things went wrong and they need parts thats when the shit hit the fan and bad repairs were carried out or they were sold for parts. Its slowly changing now with owners that want the best for there Z and very few bad ones out there now. But in my opinion they are still being sold to cheap.

Hi Guys, Sorry that was the breaker that I got the exhaust from. Good spot though, eagle eyes! The car was mostly a wreck, but does have a set of midguards which I think are quite sought after? Think he wanted £70 for the set.

 

Best, W

Ha! That's where I got my zed parts - top guys Tom and his dad and some rather interesting cars inside the garage as projects they're working on
