Spotted: Z1... i think :S

Hi all

I think i saw a Z1 in central london just now. It looked like one from the front... although i haven't seen any before or that many photos.

Do Z1s have no doors? It was an F reg too...

Cheers. Andy

i've also seen a few Z1's before, i think they're quite rare.

If i remember correctly they have electrically operated doors that go vertically downwards. I may be wrong but i thought that's how they worked when i saw one on Top Gear a long time ago.

This is right, Gary; the doors slide down vertically, and the car may be driven with open doors. Entering the car however is not easy for old men and young women with short skirts
About 8,000 Z1 were made, and they're only available used today. Prices range from €20k to €45k on the continent
