Default Designer of Zee (Ajay Panchal) signs my Zee at Silverstone Racetrack, United Kingdom!

Giles from NissanSportz (UK) managed to persuade the designer of the Zee to come over to our annual meet in the United Kingdom, at Silverstone Racetrack. He signed some Zees including my own. He then joined us for a parade lap around Silverstone in his own le mans Sunset, imported from California. He also gave a fascinating talk about the design of the Zee in the evening!

Nice! Z design (lines) has proven to be one of the most attractive body lines in sports coupe catagory.

He signed it on the underside of the hood, where he is holding his hand.

Of the car as a whole, he said he was thinking of an animal ready to pounce.

Yes; he's a very modest guy. I'm sure any car design studio would have snapped him up.

Thanks for sharing this with the Yanks . It must have been a FANTASTIC NATIONAL this year to get Ajay there . Was his Zed a left or right hand drive ? Just curious when you said that . All my best to the boys and gals in the UK .
