I would be surprised if you could find a Z1 in the UK under 10K even in a very sorry state?

He says in the comment that he wants a runner to use whilst collecting the bits for the resto, he also doesn't mention anything about cost.

you'll be lucky to find anything for that money, a z1 thats 90% original, mot'd and on the road will set you back £10k these days no matter how rough it looks :cry:

A lot of carbs can be damaged by ultrasonic cleaning, overheating and to aggressive; it can cause minor hairline cracks which are near invisible which cause bad running, new carb body cures
