I'm looking for a nice Dakar Z3 as per title, must be a 6 cylinder car, ideally a 3.0, but not sure if they were made, but a 2.8 or 2.2 would be nice too. I'd like all the extras of course, please contact me if you are thinking of selling!

Alternatively, would consider any 2.8 or 3.0 if special enough.

Thanks!

I think if you had a a 2.8 and you were happy with it you would be better seeking out another 2.8 or 3.0
Wrong decision settling for something else may be disappointing and costly.
Only my opinion.

Thanks Bazza, I've been to look at that one. Its been stood outside for a long period of time, needs a fair bit of recommissioning, very rusty brakes, mould everywhere etc. I made an offer but it was refused!

My thoughts too, the 2.8 was a really nice drive, if the right car came along etc!

Mileage looks good but as you say needs a bit of money bringing the 2.2 back to scratch plus no hard top and top dollar. Paying for mileage rather than condition maybe.

So the search goes on good luck, I looked at about 6 cars till I found mine and I think you get a feel when it's right for you:)

I've only ever seen this colour on 2.2s - I won't say plenty but sufficient come up for sale to find a good one. And on Z3Ms.

Never any other model. And since a 3.0 in that colour is my dream combination we'll have to toss a coin :)

But I doubt it and doubt it in a 2.8 even less.

Dakars are quite rare a 3.0 sport dakar even more so. 2.2 dakar sport seems to be the most common one you see
