On my recent holiday in Spain spotted this slighty worn but still in daily use Z3 in Fragiliana Spain.
While walking around the village spotted an MX5 MK2 and an MR2 MK2. Nothing strange about that except they were both right hand drive and had been brought over from the UK.

But also rather sadly an old triumph beyond any help

It's weird how foreign countries just leave their cars in a field :p
Wonder why it wasn't put in a scrap yard ;)

Lots of ex pats in Spain, probably took their sports car with them when they moved there.

Also lots of people who live there during the Winter, who take their car. Met a few on the ferry.

It's no issue driving a RHD car over there, we've just done a road trip of 1,000 miles in Northern Spain. The roads in rural Spain are superb, and empty....ideal Z3 country.

It's true, in Greece the old cars/bikes are just left by the side of the road. I saw a motorbike when we visited Zante, left on the pavement on a back street. When we visited again four years later it was still there, nobody had touched it.

I have an old Triumph Vitesse MK1 in the garage which is desprate for a restore! I will never get round to it so time to let it go I suppose.
Make more room for another Zed though!!
