I love the second one, quite a rare colour on here. I would say that the zed is very reliable, there are a few minor niggles but they can be sorted out pretty easily.
We havent really bothered with JAE for a few years due to clashed with other shows and the choice of the new central location at Mersea
Plenty of shows coming up before then. Wales is a biggie and a great weekend. Japfest is fantastic at Castle Coombe and you can also pop over to the LakeZ in June.
Hi and welcome to the forum Pete, well done for getting all that info. We are always happy to answer questions but you have done a fair bit of research there.

I live just down the road but am suffering the consequences of arranging this.
If you see one thats a fair distance away just ask a local to check it out. The problem is that forum members look after their cars, others dont, as such there is a vast difference in condition.
