1996 Nissan Fairlady 300 ZX Twin-Turbo

Highlights

  • Ex-Japanese Z32 
  • 3.0L Twin-turbo V6 with 4-speed automatic transmission
  • Highly original throughout 
  • Plenty of original Japanese paperwork
  • Part of a large private collection that is being reduced due to ill-health 

The Appeal

The Nissan 3000ZX is a hallmark - a legendary fixture of Nissan’s back catalogue. These impressive sports cars followed in the footsteps of the Fairlady Z, with much of the essential DNA intact - with an eye for the upmarket and a throaty, sonorous V6 that offered plenty of torque in a compact package. 
This example first arrived in the UK in 2017, complete with a selection of Japanese paperwork. Reassuringly original, we’re sure it’ll pick up plenty of attention.
