Z Black & White, a personalised JA original. These are pretty unusual to say the least.

Finally, maybe one of the rarest I own - a '77 Zephyrflex in the transition between Zephyr & Z Flex. Still the translucent Zephyr look, they removed the stickers and sold only a few before the transition to Z Flex and the introduction of pigment boards rather than just tint.

some beauties in there :P i love how someone has ground away the lips of the maroon zephyr to make bigger wheel wells,its just the sort of thing that happened back then when nobody was bothered or knew about the future value of things, just the way it should be,stick 2 different trucks on or odd wheels just as long as it kept you going,the fun times :mrgreen:

Finally found the missing piece of the jigsaw!
The 1978 Jimmy Plumer Lite-lam z-pig model in the dark wood. This is the Lite-lam version , very thin and extremely lite and very damageable!
This is the last of the original six second generation z-pig (animal) series I needed to complete the six signature models. Z-flex would later add two new additions to the original six , the first being James (Jim) Davey in 1979 followed a year later by the Ken Stelmasky model in 1980!
Huge Thanks to Paul Phillips for cutting and shaping the topside griptape with team prism sheet.

This z-pig winger model is a one of one and was featured in the disposable bible. Thanks once again to Paul Phillips for cutting and shaping a original sheet of clear pizza griptape. All stickers are original 1970s z-flex stickers.
