Re: Henna Red Z1

The first picture on this car advert is my Z1 on my driveway at home! I think they searched the Internet for pictures of red Z1's as the four pictures are all of different cars. Ivor thought I had put mine up for sale when he saw the picture! I have not and do not plan on selling it.

Z1 spotted at Newark - Sun 13 April

I spotted a dark coloured Z1 on the Newark bypass on Sunday 13 April. I think they knew me as they flashed their lights. Although I was in my 458, rather than my Z1. Have checked with Ivor and Roger and it wasn't them. Were any of you in the Newark area on Sunday?
