I've heard the same about a 1200 that was lowered, guards flared and bigger engine swapped into. Why destroy a classic car?
hahaha! i guess you got me...
There's just something about the Zeds. I don't know what it is, but as Benny said anything other than a straight six just seems wrong. And why on earth would you put an auto in a sports car? And messing with such desirable, classic lines is plain wrong. Fit some period style spoilers (same applies to the wheels) if you want, but cutting holes is way over the line! it's all personal taste, but in my book that guy doesn't deserve a Zed - it should be confiscated and handed over to ME!
Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against modifying Zeds, just show a little historic sensitivity. Engine swaps like modern twin cam multivalve straight sixes are cool. And I've got nothing against V8's. I've owned them in the past, and I currently own a V8 engined 240K coupe, whose alloy V8 probably is lighter than the L24 6cyl! I'm sure nobody minds that thing being cut up! Makes me want to go out and butcher one of their favourite Muscle Cars!
btw, the best sounding car I've ever heard is a wild 3000+cc L28 powered Zed with triple Webers etc.
