Back in the Land of the Z1

#1 PostAuthor: Haggler » Thu Sep 21, 2017 2:32 am

Hi, just signed up. I have recently returned to Z1 ownership (Z1R to be precise) I last owned one of these when I met my Mrs in 1985. Thought I wouldn't be able to get another as prices too rich for me but fell on this one which was only 7 miles from me. Needs paint and a bit of TLC but is on the road so will look to improve over the winter.

Hopefully get to some Z1 meets :D

Small world........there we are meeting up thinking we are both kettle lovers and all the time not realising we are actually zed heads. :lol: ......although I'm between zeds at the moment until the Dunstallgets sold.
I look forward to seeing the R when you have polished it up.

Very nice, I liked the Z1R back when I had dark brown hair and a porn star tache and still do like them, even though most of it is now grey and the tache has long since gone..........
