Your call really Chris. If you are interested enough then you’ll enjoy the build, but if you aren’t it will probably become a bit of a slog….
 
The kit looks interesting. I remember seeing Wheeler Dealers working on one of these. I seem to remember they painted their's red. As for whether you build it then really it's your decision. You might enjoy a different genre, straight out of the box build after all your complex builds with lighting and moving parts.
 
Interesting car the Z1, with doors that drop down into the sills.

Would be good to see you build a car Chris, especially if you add some of your usual magic. They aren't too different from other subjects, apart from there usually being much more painting before assembly than some.

Cool looking car, don't think I've ever seen one in real life, are they sold in the UK?
I don't really have a genre for model making, I will pretty much have a go at anything.
I think once you start you will get into it no probs.
Cheers
