I live quite a few streets past a neighborhood that is home to some of
Denver's professional athletes and other folks with extra money to use
up. Back when I commuted downtown, I'd sometimes see a black over red Z8
pulling out of that neighborhood. It was nice to see the driver turn to
watch my black over red TR4 go by -- while I was twisting to look over
his car. Heck, If I had the extra $100,000, I'm sure I would ...
probably buy five more TR4's and build a three level garage.
The Z8 is a sweet tribute to the classic 507. I'd like to think it's the
sort of sophisticated retro design BMW will use when it revives the
Triumph brand with a new sub-$20K TR in a few years.*
