Look what I found........

.........while sitting at a set of traffic lights in Windsor today, judging by the layer of dust it has been there for some time!

Odd thing is this is the sort of place that sells family cars, don't think I have ever seen anything more exciting than a Scoobie in there in the past..................great looking car - if only I had 25k to spare.........

Nah! Got to be lusso red. And lovely (like an ugly boxer dog is lovely) as it is, I still want an SZ more.

There are 18 on the register - I'm not sure how accurate that is, I know a couple have been broken for spares recently.

I wish I could join the lucky few but 25k is a tad more than I have in my spare change pocket at the moment.......

Cheers Jamie.
A rare car indeed!!

[MadDad]

Probably less risk involved in buying an RZ at the moment as well!!

Two questions. 1: Where did you see it. 2: Was it actually for sale
And actually a third question How much???

Its for sale in Windsor, the garage at the end of Imperial Rd ( Cannot remember name ) and has been there for ages, was up for £24995 last time I looked at it, about 3 months ago!

BMWDriverNigel has it more or less spot on

It's at S G Autopoint on St Leonards Road in Windsor, it is still up for sale at £24,995 but being as its been hidden in the shworoom for a while I would imagine the guy would negotiate.

I think it had about 60k miles on the clock but don't quote me on that, I did not spend more than 5 mins looking at it but initial impression was its a clean car, interior looked very good, no oil slicks under the car however the diff looked a little damp........

If you want more details let me know and I will swing by next time I am in Windsor.

Trivial thing, but if it read 60k on the clock it'd be 60k km - so 36k-ish miles.

Absolutely beautiful. Suspect it may be there still as £25k is a little steep? I thought they should be more around £18-21k. Although with the mileage and plate etc.??

18-21k for the coupe.

25k sounds about right for a spyder with that mileage in that condition.

Absolutely ing lovely that is

Spyder: Spider
Which got me thinking, does anybody know what the SZ and RZ stands for, if anything?....Maybe something Zagato.
Jamieboy?

SZ is 'Sprint Zagato' - sort of a nod to the (50s?) Giulietta Sprint Zagato, and RZ is 'Roadster Zagato'.

Slightly misleading because the SZ isn't really a Zagato design, they just tweaked some bits of the original that Fiat's design team came up with. The RZ was a Zagato design, and doesn't share any major bodywork with the SZ.
