Not for the purist, but at a glance this looks nicely done:

Maybe we call it a 240Z3 ... another one near cole455? (is this a trend)?

Looks pretty well done.
I'll bet it's fun to drive hard.

Yup drive hard would be nice, still suspect it does not get the head turning of a roadster, but
I've not driven a Z so maybe they do ...

I remember that now. I would rather have the TR6. Either way, nice stuff!

Interesting photo with the TR6 placed near an airplane!
I need to keep this marketing ploy in mind along with the June Taylor dancers if I sell a car!

Thanks Alvin, for the great photos I too prefer the TR6 even though the Z is Japanese (to some extent) :?
