Ah well. I think I'll just keep waiting and see what comes up. I was tempted by that Orange Z that's sat on Trademe for a while. It's set up for targa though with a lot of modern parts including seats and roll cage. I'd really rather have a more original one. I don't mind the engine so much, but to pay 30k then have to remove stuff and tidy - it's back to 40k. I guess there's no escaping the fact that that's what they're going for these days.
My (a long way behind) 2nd choice is starting to look like an option - a Triumph GT6. They tend to go for around 15k in good nick. But yeah, it'd never be a Z
It's a figure that I have in mind that I am comfortable with at this stage, especially as I will be doing the majority of wrenching myself. Panel and paint will be outsourced, but it's a project, so will expect the costs to be higher if I bother to total the final cost. And yes, I have high expectation levels, but you don't know what my experience and skill levels are, so understandably you would be cautious in what I can achieve and my estimates. It's all good, I appreciate your feedback nonetheless
