Well yesterday was a whole year with my Zed. What started out last May after reading a Telegraph article on getting a sports car for under 5k has led to this. Ive always had a hankering for a two seater and didnt realise I could pick up something decent for under 2k. The important thing is that my wife didnt realise either and with her blessing I did some local searching and found one at a garage a few miles away and the garage owner I knew. I really didnt want to travel around looking at different ones, had no idea what was a good or bad one, no mechanical experience at all. They gave a small warranty and did a new MOT put on a new tyre. I wasnt expecting much I have to be honest and thought I would be breaking down regularly. Its been brilliant and I have learnt so much about mechanics/electrics also. Needles to say I have spent more than I expected however on reflection its been worth it. This site has been a key factor in learning and understanding- SO THANKS ALL. Also have to give thanks to @colb for his support and Zedshed Cymru, without this I would be lost. Thanks also to @spurs fan in a coupe who I have had lots of bits from!
