Paul I know you have been looking for a 3.0 Dakar since joining but looking at the mot history don't think this is the clean original car that you are looking for.
At the end of the day a good condition zed would not need to be undersealed both my 97 and 99 zed still have green and yellow undersides with little to no corrosion so unless you can get it dirt cheap and be prepared to spend on it to bring up to the standard you want then it's a no from me.

But then also might be worth going to see if not too far just so you have the piece of mind that it wasn't the right zed for you.
Stephen.
You couldn't buy the car cheap enough if its anything like my 2.8, I have put over 200 hours in so far and most of that was dealing with corrosion on the body and running gear, do the sums @£50 per hour plus 3k in parts :eek:

Just studied the pictures and that's rusting in places I've never seen a z3 rust before. Personally I would avoid

Thought mine was bad.

But as said. Underneath is a nightmare to work with when covered in surface rust.

Change one thing and it leads to another 5 or 6 things.

I know. Just changed the rear disks

I ended up buying a nice doner car. But yellow would be hard to find as a doner

Well well...wonder what happened there? So much fishing goes on, on ebay, there's hardly a straightforward ad!

No bids either still at starting price.
It's a shame though that such a nice car can be let to fall into such poor condition

Its back on at starting price. There will be a long story behind this car. What a shame!

Wow, never seen another Dakar yellow 3.0i. Quite exiting even though it has seen better days.

I'd have it at the right price but for the life of me I couldn't undertake yet another colour change :D
