Just arrived here at the beginning of my search for a Z3, I've had an MX5 Mk1 for a few years, and love it, but think I need something that can handle longer runs easier, driving the car is fine, but conversations are a bit difficult!
So I have been reading good things about Z3's and need to start looking at actual cars next. I don't mind travelling to get the right car, I went 450 miles to get my Lexus LS400 which I saw on Ebay, a days travel is nothing if you get the right car you will have for years!
Just as well really, as I live up near Inverness!

Anyway, hello to all, and any observations for someone just started looking gratefully received

:welcome:to the forum from West Cumbria. Take a look in the For Sale section, this lovely 2.2 as an example, not mine.

I'd buy from an enthusiast if you can as it's more likely to have been maintained better.
 
:welcome: Hi and welcome from me too :coolsteer)

Hi Ian and welcome from near Lincoln. As Andy said if you can buy from an enthusiast for obvious reasons. If you're looking for a car as a project and you're handy with the spanners a Z3 is a great car to do.

Tony.

Hello and welcome to the forum. There have been a few Zeds for sale in or near Aberdeen recently on Ebay
 
Hi from Mansfield. I'd personally aim for a 6 cylinder car, nothing wrong with 4 pot 1.9, I just like the silky smooth running of a 6 pot.
I do like your thoughts on travelling for the right car. The amount that won't view something because it's to far amazes me when it's something your going to have for years to come. Good luck with your search.

Yes, I think a 6 is called for, had any number of 4 cyl. cars and recently sold my Lexus V8 (sob), so I think a 6. :)
 
Hi and welcome from the south coast:welcome:
 
Hi and :welcome: from Surrey, good luck with your search. I know Forres a little bit as my brother and his family live there. Haven't been up there for a couple of years but hope to make it again soon. :thumbsup:
