Code 'Z' was special paint on early 68s, before it became British Racing Green.

I remember finding early Z-Z cars, but they weren't green. That took some digging to prove. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

Interesting car - there are some other orange cars built about the same time.

Interesting car. Whats up with the shift levers??

Looks like a Vertigate shifter.

The shifter appears to be an inline shifter with reverse lock-out with separate handle for reverse.
