So, a long overdue post, sorry. Redundancy, change of job, impending house move, first time grandparents, daughter buying house, all seem to have side tracked me away from here. 

Sold my zeds last year, as some of you would have seen at the time, and more recent ads appearing. Was sad to see them go, but there was good reason behind it.

We were weeks away from moving house, and they were sold to fund some much needed work at the new place.

 

I had my blue zed (ex AndyP)

Nikk had a purple zed, which had some turbo issues from when it was built and the builder disappeared before fixing.

We had the green zed (ex TonyB).

 

As i needed to sell them all fairly quickly, i managed to negotiate a fair enough price with Ifti to take the lot, considering 2 had no MOT at the time.

I could certainly have got a bit more if i had sold them separately, or had the time to fix the little issues they all had, but with an impending house move, moving them quickly became the key requirement.

However, the house sale/purchase fell through, a couple of times actually, and we ended up staying where we were, but now zedless.

 

After some consideration, we decided not to replace them with another zed, and that gap has been filled with a completely different animal. So i would like to introduce you to the new ride.

I hope to be coming along in it to the Sandringham show that Richard has got us space for, so look forward to catching up with some of you again after the previous couple of years isolations.

 

As ever with the zed, niche car ownership brings along a never ending list of little jobs to do, and this is no exception, but i am hoping will add to the enjoyment... ? 

Sounds like you had a busy/stressfull time Craig. But relax now and enjoy that V8 sound.

Glad to see you haven't lost your petrolhead mojo Craig. Look forward to a ride in the beast!

Wow what a car - great choice.

It is a completely different experience to anything else, very raw, visceral, and basic. Very basic. Nothing of the wafting along comfort of similar looking manufacturer cars ?

Getting in and out is a challenge in itself.
