Hi guys. I'm new to this site. This is my last Z3 (Rebodied as s 250swb) which has been sold to a guy in Belgium as I now take on a complete self build of a retromod convertible version of the same model. I'm a complete novice when it comes to working on cars do may be asking for a lot of help and advice.

I tiptoed into Z3 ownership with a 1.9, but the plan is to move on to a better engine, and then finally to something like yours.. I do love my classics, but there's a point where a modern (ish) running gear with a classic looking body becomes more appealing.

Anyway, welcome to the party!

Thank you. I purchased the one in the picture already built but had been abandoned for 2 years, so had to finish it off and get it on the road. It was based on the 2ltr. I'm using the 3ltr as a base for the new build.

Welcome on board Jim from a fellow 250 Replica man.

If you are interested the red one is for sale???? Maybe even the blue one too.

Both of mine are going up for sale if you fancy?

Hi.
Thanks for the offer. Never really been a fan of the 250 California myself. A bit too MG looking in my opinion. The Blue one is similar to what I'm building. What engines are you running in those two ?

I know what you mean about the Cal, I wonder if they copied MG or the other way around?

Both cars run 2.8's with uprated ECU, 3.0 Inlet manifolds, quad exhaust and decent air intakes (very quick).

Welcome, lovely looking car.
