Thanks for the response. I'm trying to figure out when I can get down to you from Cheshire to have a look at the car. Probably towards the end of next week...

S(id) A H(urrell) if I remember right? I had a saffron 13/60 convertible that I kept for over 20 years (that was turned into a 13/90 by John Wade of JW Developments) as well.

Thanks for the warm welcome All. I can feel a sense of mild financial ruin and social exclusion coming on from spending too much time on car forums....

As you bumped the ad last night, would I be correct in assuming that the car is still available?...

Thanks for the link! I like a car that's been looked after properly by someone who know's what they are doing and my time on the VX forum taught me how valuable an owners forum is to 'getting it right' with owning a performance motor. The classifieds will be my first port of call.

Never knew they made a manual 350GT..... How many of you are there out there?

Let me take you all back to the spring and summer of 1991 when, for a few months at least, my daily driver was a wedgewood blue Triumph Vitesse Mk2 dhc. Massive, cast iron, 2ltr straight six up front, tiny little cherry bomb silencer on an otherwise straight through exhaust and single cart spring rear suspension with a couple of rubber dohnuts connected into the driveshafts to keep it all 'under control'. Every journey was an adventure (and a near death experience at most bends), but the noise was something I'll never forget and something I've longed to experience again. So, four years ago, number 3 child appeared and I dutifully sold the VX220 in order to buy a 7 seater family bus. I'm now at a point where I can look for a replacement and the six cylinder itch needs to be scratched again before the powers that be make anything with more than 2 cylinders illegal. So, you guys and gals enjoy the wonders of Japanese reliability, a nice big V6 up front and playful RWD. I also know that you all will look after your Z's with care and the benefit of the shared intelligence that comes from an online owners forum. Looking forward to getting to know you all. I'm off to the classifieds.......
