Z1 In Barons Court

[stuttgartmetal]

Very rare, and looked like it was day to day transport.

Rare, kerrazy-looking, drop-down doors, and an absolutely storming straight-six; what's not to like?

Can't see the picture anymore - was it mine? (check profile)

Yes, it's a very nice engine and makes a fantastic noise (or it does if you give it four exhaust pipes to exhale noisily through!) but I wouldn't describe it as storming.

It got plenty of urge in the right gear to be getting on with, but 0-60 in mine feels to be about 7 secs to me, which isn't that much by today's standards. My Alfa eats it in a straight line.

I only asked because my ex lives in Queen's Club Gardens and so my Z1 used to parked around there frequently.
