The unusual Z1 is a rare modern classic, featuring dramatic electric doors that 'drop' into the sills; and this is an excellent, usable example of the 1990s roadster.

Under the bonnet is a 2.5-litre straight-six engine, producing 168bhp, which is delivered to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox.

The car's bold design was complemented by multi-link rear suspension, recyclable thermoplastic and GRP body panels, a flat undertray, and a roll bar integrated into the windscreen surround.

The car is finished in Top Red with a replacement black roof over the original 'Camouflage' grey and green leather interior. It rides on the Z1-specific 16-inch alloy wheels, which were replaced in April 2021.

The standard specification includes electrically operated windows and doors; with the latter even able to be lowered for driving. A Blaupunkt Bremen SQR 46 DAB radio has been fitted, which is in-keeping with the style of the vehicle, but brings modern conveniences such as Bluetooth connectivity, a DAB receiver, and USB/SD slots. A stainless-steel G-Power dual-exit exhaust has also been installed, which passes the TV testing process.

The car is accompanied by numerous invoices, service history, and previous TV certificates, as well as the warning triangle and tool kit. The BMW Z1 was the first of the compact, modern roadsters from the Bavarian marque, and sported an innovative design that still draws crowds three decades on. With a smooth and powerful straight-six engine, involving manual gearbox and impressive handling, this compact sports car delivers true driving pleasure. It benefits from recent mechanical attention and low mileage, and is ready to relish on the new owner's favourite roads.
