Is this not the coolest car on the planet?

I want one.

That's all I have to say.

 

It certainly is.

And i remember a fifth gear episode where tiff drove lots of roadster, including the s2000 and ended by saying the best roadster in the world was the Z8.

How much are they ?

 

Prices vary a lot I think Mr Crispy - 60k ish.



I have a semi on.

 

I have no idea what they are like to drive but I think they look amazing. Aged well IMO.

 

I would say they are a safer place to put your rmoney than a 360 Mark.

 

Very cool car, I remember hearing then seeing one in Munich not long after they came out, I've not seen one since.

I had them down as big wobbly barges?

 

I saw one in London last year, in Mayfair, and it really stood out because it was different to all the 911's and Fezzas.

Then saw one driving through Wimborne yesterday.

Hence it reignited my interest.

Graham, I fear it may be gash to drive too... Love to be proved wrong!

 

No shortage of secret compartments either.
Strange central dials but OK for cruzin I guess.

I can't imagine another car like this being made in the foreseeable future.

One available a Bramley at the moment.

BMW's next retro style car will be the Isetta
I used to own the original many years ago powered by a BMW 300cc single cylinder engine. I imagine the new one will have four wheels.

 

Used to be one round here in black. I don't think the colour helped it, but I could be persuaded.

It never seemed to move much and spent the most time parked up at a kerb on the road.

I'll go see if it's where it used to be.

 

Looks like you remember correctly

Original Stig puts in a good performance at the end of the clip though with it.
