So, I've been here for years now and have seen many zeds come and go. Some of my favourites being here in the northeast. Anyway, I thoughts I'd make a thread about old favourite to try and drum up some interest.

 

So, what are your old favourites and where are they now if you know.

 

The Fridge:

So this was owned by PaulG who put the kit on and painted the car himself in his garage. Shockingly, I remember FunkySi saying he quite liked the car. I personally loved it, veilside Supra spoiler and all. The car sold sold to someone abroad, initially having a wheel change and the spoiler removed before having a complete new colour and look.

MAC1 - The Beast Frim The East

The red wide arch that was known as potentially the fastest zed in the country. Although I don't think any true dyno results with evidence was ever posted. But having been in the car a few times, I must say, it was stupid fast.

 

The car is currently sat rotting away a little in the old owner of PPS's current workshop around 10 minutes from my house. Although still owned by Macca. Potentially to be for sale or broken in the near future.

Chris@GetGreddy

Although the owner is a complete A-Hole in my opinion, his car was real nice. I don't know what happened to the car as Chris vanished from the earth after being a robbing git.

ChrisC

ChrisC's silver wide arch is basically sat on his drive and hasn't been touched for years sadly. Chris used to light the wheels up on the way into every meet.

TIZER

TIZER was the owner of a blue marble painted Z. He sold the car a number of years back and unfortunately the car was crashed a few years back... so I went and took all the chrome bits from it, including one of very few triple chrome plenums (I later sold that to Artz2go)

Notice the plenum is gone cos I beat you to it haha

Zelda

This was a forum favourite for many owners. It was put together at PPS, who would a well respected trader and turned out the majority of the wide arch zeds around. Including, MAC1 above and in fact, my blue wide arch Z too. The car has been up for sale several times over the past 5 years and at various random prices, but no longer looks as pretty. Not sure where it is currently???

 

Will add the photo later as I can't drag and drop them on the foruM using my ipad

I don't think so! :lol:

Great info there Lee and I haven't seen the Beast in a while now.

 

 

I know I haven’t been around as long as some of you guys....only had mine 14 years,but must admit the one I had liked...not sure who it belongs to or don’t think I’ve seen it on the forum but I know it was for sale a while back ie 4/5 years ago,think it was up for around £16,000 at the time..anyway it’s a little black shorty with wide bodied kit,manual and red leather,it was a little peach in amazing condition,I’m pretty sure it never sold,maybe some of you remember it?

This thread should be preserved for posterity as I believe it to be the only occasion in history where you've come off the fence and given an opinion about somebody!! :lol:

 

I was talking to PPS' owner a few months ago about Mac1's car. I didn't realise until that point that he (Peter Hunter) was the guy responsible for so many wide-arch conversions back in the day.

Was that Zelda Graham?

 

Zelda was always my fav, just such a stunning example!

Smithy’s car was a bit tasty too.

It's been along time since seeing it gaz but yes looks very similar could be that one :)

Edited January 24, 20187 yr by gray

Yes, that was Zelda.

It was sold to a chap not too far from me for a while and I remember seeing it randomly at a pub somewhere in Somerset one summer.

 

Lee7star (ex trader) bought it and owned it for a while about 10 years ago, had it repainted and fitted 99-spec rear lights and a few other things. It has since vanished from the forum.

The reg on the above picture says that the tax expired in 2009 and the MOT in 2015.

Wonder if Zogg still has his ABFlug kitted shortie. Never looked quite as good after that coming together with a Ferrari and he had to replace the ABFlug front bumper with some horrible fibreglass thing.

Taken about 11 or 12 years ago.

My Z in pretty much the same state it came off the boat in (so glad that bronze glass and tweed

has gone) and Zogg's car. From memory we got them about the same time. It doesn't have the ABFlug front bumper here unfortunately, but if anyone has the Ross on Wye meet pics, it should there from a few years previous. I think that meet was 2005.

I don't think so! :lol:

 

You definately did like!

That will have been Zelda - I've now added the photos (couldn't do it yesterda)

That's because he ripped me off. Hence why he disappeared!

I have that on my list - I ended up on the phone for like 3 hours through the night, but will post the details later

He changed the wheels too and it completely changed the look of the car IMO

Have Jason's on the list too, but wanted to post all the different looks of the car ;)

Wonder if Zogg still has his ABFlug kitted shortie. Never looked quite as good after that coming together with a Ferrari and he had to replace the ABFlug front bumper with some horrible fibreglass thing.

 

Zogg also on the list, but have some photos here.

 

ZOGG (Peter)

Quite a popular looking car and Peter was a well liked member. Last time a spoke to him was about 3 years ago and I think he still has the car sat around. Here's a couple of photo's, 1 is from from a show we were at together, I took them while he put my tent up :lol:

 

 

Edit... added some more of the photos I took
