Description
THIS IS ALMOST CERTAINLY THE LOWEST MILEAGE ORIGINAL RHD UK SUPPLIED DATSUN 240Z (HS30) LEFT IN THE COUNTRY AND IS THE ULTIMATE COLLECTOR’S EXAMPLE WITH UNRIVALLED PROVENANCE AND HISTORY.
I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2020 FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO HAD JUST TURNED 80 YEARS OLD AND COULD NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR. GARAGED FROM NEW, THE UNBELIEVABLE LOW MILEAGE OF JUST 24, 000 IS FULLY DOCUMENTED WITH MUCH SERVICE HISTORY AVAILABLE TOGETHER WITH MANY OLD MOT’S AND TAX DISCS.
ALTHOUGH THIS CAR HAS BEEN RE-PAINTED, IT IS THE HOLY GRAIL AMONGST UK SUPPLIED 240Z MODELS AND QUITE PROBABLY UNIQUE IN THIS CONDITION AS IS NOT A RESTORED CAR.
IT HAS NEVER NEEDED ANY WELDING OR REPLACEMENT PANELS. THE BODYSHELL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH THE INTEGRITY OF NISSAN FACTORY STEEL AS IT LEFT THE FACTORY IN JAPAN IN 1971.
MECHANICALLY THE CAR IS STOCK STANDARD AND UNMOLESTED, THE INTERIOR IS UNTOUCHED FROM NEW AND IN ORIGINAL CONDITION. RIDE HEIGHT AND SUSPENSION IS AS IT LEFT THE FACTORY. A PIPER STAINLESS STEEL UPGRADED EXHAUST HAS BEEN FITTED BY MARQUE SPECIALISTS FOURWAYS ENGINEERING WHO HAVE LOOKED AFTER THIS CAR IN IT’S LATER YEARS.
THE WOLF RACE WHEELS HAVE BEEN DIAMOND CUT AND POLISHED - THESE WERE DEALER SUPPLIED WHEN NEW AND ALMOST ALL 240Z WERE SOLD WITH THIS PERIOD UPGRADE. NEW TYRES HAVE BEEN FITTED ALL ROUND.
THE ENGINE IN THIS CAR IS VERY SMOOTH AND SWEET SOUNDING IN LINE WITH IT’S INCREDIBLY LOW MILEAGE.
IT HAS BEEN USED SPARINGLY IN MY OWNERSHIP BUT JUST ENOUGH TO KEEP IT IN GOOD RUNNING ORDER.
THE MOST RECENT TRIP WAS FROM DEVON TO GOODWOOD A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, A RETURN JOURNEY OF EXACTLY 300 MILES ON WHICH IT PERFORMED FAULTLESSLY.
THIS CAR WILL APPEAL TO THE DISCERNING COLLECTOR AND REALLY IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY. YOU SIMPLY WON’T FIND ANOTHER CAR WITH THIS ORIGINALITY, HISTORY AND PROVENANCE.
COME AND VIEW IN HALL 3, STAND 421 AT THE NEC CLASSIC MOTOR SHOW 8-10TH NOVEMBER
