Well Lyndon and Jussi were hassling me for pics after less than 24 hours so 23 shouldn't disapoint

Very nice mate.

Just wish I could have the confidence to have a rag top round are way.

The little Barstuards down here would have a knife through that roof before i even got it off the drive.

Have you got any bigger photos?

Like the speedster humps, but I think I prefer the lines of the coupÃ©. I reckon if you reduce the size of the first pic in one direction you'll get a Daihatsu Copen

What's the performance like (I guess you're still running her in)? I think there's a supercharger conversion available, plus a host of Nismo bits

ya can do a supercharger,single turbo or twin turbo plus nitro

the cabrio does 0-60 6.4 seconds
the coupe does 0-60 5.9 seconds
(auto express figures)

nice pics derek,just in time for the good weather

The rag top put me off Nobby although fingers crossed I won't have any problems. I prefer the Pug CC metal roof idea but unfortunately Nissan don't do it.

I actually do have bigger photo's - these ones are the reduced size version to save limited webspace

The humps are nice and the coupe does look better but the roof won't go down on it

I told Lyndon a while back
that I wasn't sure about the look with the roof up but it actually isn't as bad when you see it.

And lastly ...... have you seen the Copen, it looks nothing like it

Have you got a side-on pic with the roof up (and down)?

Nice vehile Derek. A guy around the corner from me has one exactly the same as yours. The blue is brilliant and not done justice in the photo's. Enjoy!!!!!

By the way I sold my CC the other day but will be hanging on to it for about 2 weeks until my MINI arrives. The ship arrived late last week so the car should be less than 2 weeks away.

Good luck when the Mini arrives Frosty. Seen very few on the road but saw one on a transporter the other day

To save me uploading them to very limited webspace go here.....

There are 67 pics in total and there are a sequence of 5 of the car from the side with the roof going down.

And it was a nice day for some top-down motoring today...

Derek · Post by **Derek** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 11:09 pm

It was a very nice day - even in Scotland.

I never had the Z out in it unfortunately as I was working 1pm-10pm and there was no way I was leaving the Z where I work on a Saturday night as it resembles a warzone and tonight was no different so I made the correct decision.

Derek,

Could i ask what engine you have and how much did it cost you in the end. Lovely motor. Have you had any problems with the car at all?
Whats the roof like?

Louis

Post by **Lyndon** » Wed Sep 07, 2005 5:49 pm

the engine is a 3.5 litre producing 276bhp (listed as 280bhp in brochures)

think the roadster starts at Â£27,500

can't comment on the roof as mines the coupe version.

no problems so far after almost 10 months
