The visual difference between the two is the chrome trim - the ZB has a straight chrome "spear" along the front side of the wing whereas the ZA had a "hockey stick" design which wrapped around the leading edge of the front wheel arch. The main body change came with the ZB Varitone which had a wrap round rear window and normally had two-tone paintwork.

If I remember correctly the ZB had some mechanical enhancements over the ZA as well.

Of course a MGB engine will drop straight in and is fairly popular modification - plus the inevitable 5-speed gearbox which makes the car infinitely nicer to drive.

Hopefully they'll knock it down and build a new appropriately sized 'Brexit' one back in Croydon, I think the buildings still there actually.

"Double espresso and croissant Natter" - could we get any more Waitrose?

My vote is "Bacon'n'oil butty and hypoid tea break natter" - far more reflective of the majority of the denizens of this Forum.

Used to go past the old Croydon airport occasionally when I worked in Croydon itself. Wasn’t until years later I learned of its history....

If you like to keep your knowledge of this region of the forum updated, John, may be you should add a carrot and half a potato! Yes, I know French humor is somewhat "chpetzial"…

Midget, what about keeping the international touch? May be you can add Valérie at some point or "remettez nous ça!"

People at Vinci are bad in business, can't believe how much they are ready to pay for some… drones! Watta buzz…

Regarding the ZAs & ZBs I'm surprised that there are any left after just about all of them were driven to destruction in the 60/70s on the stock car tracks, it was "the" car to have at that time

Because its delta related cycling should be involved and may be you can find some sponsor? Alan M for example… It could become "oops, where are the brakes?"

STOP PRESS!!

Gatwick Airport to be renamed "Aerogare Paris-Crawley" and used as Ryan Air's European base.

The DUP offers support to the Tooting Popular Front which objects to backstop at the re-christened "Balham, Gateway to the South of Europe". Theresa May to visit Wolfie Smith in a whistlestop tour of European cities including Reigate, Redhill and Godstone.

Crucial Parliamentary Brexit vote delayed until April 1st.

While you are to sell anything to anyone and renaming your jewels, may I give some suggestions? Thank you! Trafalgar square to become Culloden round about and your October 21 to become July 14th! Just a starter…
No worry, our "Veau Marengo" became "Couscous boulettes" since a long time!

Hesitant to mention alcohol in the tea-break thread, but I thought the collective mind might have some thoughts on this, as its almost classic.....


When at Milady's daughter's place on Xmas day, some mention was made of sparkling wine - prompting milady to remember that we have a bottle of something that might match that description in the kitchen wine rack.....no idea why, maybe won in a raffle?



On returning home, I investigated and it appears to be something labelled "Pina Colada", branded as sold by St Michael, so presumably from M&S. Only thing is it has a "Display before" date of 19/12/92, and a "Best before" date of 12/01/93............


So, what's the thoughts? Vintage or time-bomb?

??? My car's Swedish. Mrs MM's car is German. My previous one was nominally Swedish too. I don't think I've ever had a German car, I've been mostly driving French and British.

No worry, midget, it was sent to bauble. How do you manage to buy a French car? The price being linked to the quality… they are free! May be you can even get a reward if you buy another.
Dont tell me about Renault, the quality is so poor that they framed the CEO!

You won't be able to move in there, he's acquired yet another one. Lord knows where he's going to put it.

I thought a ‘Pina Colada’ was a pineapple juice and alcohol cocktail.....

If the bottle has got juice in the ingredients you’ll likely be able to tell if it’s off by smell, or taste, or both......

Good luck!
