Another write up on the Zeds. Seem to see more of these all the time. The S30 is really becoming quite desirable and valuable.

With the next model of Z coming out next year, its' bound to create a resurrange and interest in the old school Zeds too.

Thats cool.
Interesting that some journalists see it as an E Type knockoff.
To me it was not all that like an E Type.
You can see lots of influences in there-C2 Corvette,Porsche 911, etc, but I reckon its most like a scaled down Ferrari 275 GTB

I agree I think it looks more like the Ferrari. I guess that is why you could buy kits to make into GTO look alike. I don't think it looks like an E type at all. I does have a mix of cars, headlights are definitely E type. Cut of rear-end definitely Ferrari.
