Some Club member spent a few hours giving this car a good going over today (including Computer link-up) and I was wondering was your Diagnosis was?

Sorry to make a last second bid to take it, If it's any consolation I put a ridiculously high bid to secure a win over any Sane enthusiast. And did imply to the owner early on that this would be the case.

 

It's a done deal, but wondered if you could give me a heads up on what you found.

Many thanks and watch this space.

No probs mate, congratulations and all that. , will give you the complete low down if you want. Dave

 

ps - can't talk on here as my laptop battery is about to run out !

you can refund my £70 train fare if you want! lol, I tried to find out who was interested as I wouldn't have bid if I knew you were putting a big offer in. Might have saved a grand? any hows give me a call. Dave

Yep, Didn't see your Thread.. did see you put your car up for sale,, but didn't connect the dots between Royalwithcream and Royal ??? fecking idgiot..

At any rate with the £30K+ he could invested over the years, I'm not bummed at the £8600 tag. May have felt a little guilty 'nicking it at £7500 anyhow. Now I just need to sort out that rear-end.. and find a MoTech specialist.

 

err,,, uhh.. the £70... sort you out with a beer and hotdog at some show?

Now I just need to sort out that rear-end..

 

Good man! Just get some 99-spec rear lights and 99spec rear spoiler and it will finish it off a treat. :D

Beer and hotdog sounds good matey! I've got a few photos of the underside if you want them. I never had a chance to take more as the auction was ending!

Ha ha! Chuffed to bits! Knew you wouldn't be dissapointed. I don't think all the zeds you looked at were shit. I just this one isn't anything like your average zed! Makes your heart go when you are in it doesnt it!

Dave

 

ps - Come on then post the phots!!

I'll get Pics together over the weekend and get it on the Rides Section ( I don't care if people want to have a go at the rear wing.. don't care at all..) A very Tight ride. Feels like a brand-new auto.

 

I went through and added up all the receipts when I got home. Between April 99 - Fall 2004 :: just over £42,800 + the £10,300 he bought the car for in March '99.

He also at one point said something like it would have cost a fortune to do the body work he personally did on it.

 

Can't believe he sold it for a song? Super nice, genuine, guy and his wife made me sandwiches for the drive home.

 

I don't think it is practical for everyday use. get's pretty warm in the cockpit.

you bought a car like this without seeing it? sheesh. and then expect the guy you outbid at the last minute to give you a rundown? cheeky!! :D

Wow,, Mr. Vigilante, huh... quick judgements on things you think you know a lot about. ;)

 

Nope, no expectations, just wanted to introduce myself and be friendly as it's a small Island we are on.

 

did enough checking to know It was the real McCoy.. but go ahead, verbally send me to the gallows if it scratches an itch.

Thought I posted earlier on this but couldn't have pressed enter!:

 

No problems at all with Mr Boomin, I spoke to him at length after the auction and I'm more than happy with the situation and he's a very nice bloke. I'm actually off to pick up a rather tasty Rx7 later so things are good. Have insured the zed and the rx7 so not defecting from zed ownership; :). I'm looking forward to seeing the white zed at a meet and chatting to Boomin.
