Am I missing something?

It looks like a monogram but it's smashed up and has a water pump leak.....

Someone will buy it as a project I suspect. 1 of 2 moonshine makes it rare.

but once repaired it'll require an awesome painter if it gets away without a full respray, and if it gets a full respray it doesn't matter what colour it is.

Except that it will be moonshine from the factory... And according to the Monogram "clique" thats what makes a monogram. Take your Perl Black ZS and spray it moonshine and it is not a monogram in their eyes...

I *think* the winning bidder at the moment is a certain Biomorphic Green ZS owner... or one of his friends at least. (And he's spent over £10k getting that Bio up to scratch)

[stamford]

Big money already. That'll need a good panel beater and sprayer to sort that.

Wish I had bought a monogram when they weren't quite as expensive!

[Dan1971]

Over 5K !

Maybe if it wasn't damaged aswell - but - come on ..... Bet whoever traded it in didn't get offered anything like that for it.

[ZS Phil]

Madness...

[Dan1971]

£20k....

£30k?!?!

Ok. Someone is having a laugh...

[Djules]

If you were on Facebook, you would see how pathetic this is, loads of twats enjoying themselves to put high bids on this, just for fun...

Pearl black is a monogram. the most common.

Another Sam IIRC.

Is it? What exactly makes up a Monogram then?


Another Sam IIRC.

Tomkinson? I doubt he would have paid that... but could be wrong!

[Drew]

I'm not sure pearl black makes it into the monogram scheme.

I made a comment the other day on facebook about respraying my ZS in a monogram colour and selling it for £60k, but I was told it wasn't a true monogram because, aside from the "wrong build data" the interior would be completely wrong.

So, going back to my question. What makes a monogram a monogram if its not just paint. And I don't mean the build data side, I just mean the car itself...

Haha No, flaming joke it is mate. Surely business suicide by them? .

[peterzs]

Great motor, Loz.

Seems to be hit and miss with the prices on the zs . Ive got a firefrost 180 on a 54 plate and I think its in fairly good condition for a 12 year old car puts some cars a lot newer to shame when its been polished . But you see these cars going for around a grand to £1500 there is no way id be selling mine for that its worth way more to me than that . Now here is the big question do you think our zeds will ever be a classic and fetch good money in the future I,m told by some people they will one day and others saying the zs never will be a classic and also some say the mk1 might but not the mk2 now I thought maybe the other way around as there are less mk2 about guess its just hold on to them and see what happens

[peterzs]

better the devil you know, they go well and look good, long as you keep the rust at bay cannot go wrong with them.

Specially in Trophy Yellow, Classic already. :-)

What else can you buy that ticks so many boxes.

:):):)

[Dan1971]

Well - as of an hour ago, I'm looking at what ZSs are about. Just ordered a new Jacuzzi....:trampoline:

Got the BMW for 2 months then I'll be back in a ZS ..... double good day.:)
