M. O. T. – March 2025
Odometer – 34, 290
With the Nissan 350Z being such a useable sportscar with a high “smile per mile” quotient, it is often hard to find a low mileage, lightly used example. ‘FN04FGU’ proves to be a worthy exception to that rule having covered well under 35, 000 miles from new in the hands of what appears to be two private keepers. The two months of ‘FN04FGU’s’ first ownership is quite possibly the supplying dealer registering it as a demonstrator. Then follows an ownership period of almost 19 years. The current keeper acquired ‘FN04FGU’ in March 2023 at around 32, 300 miles. ‘FN04FGU’ hails from the first year of Roadster production and is fitted with the “5EAT” Jatco five speed automatic transmission. This combined with the electric hood, which folds in just 20 seconds, makes ‘FN04FGU’ the perfect boulevard cruiser, whist still offering plenty of bite from the 276bhp 3. 5 litre V6 engine. Offered today with a full service history, plenty of other paperwork and a valid MOT until March this year.
The Nissan 350Z Roadster was one of those rare cars that was designed to be a soft top from the get-go. As such the Roadster is noted for offering every bit as much on road dynamism and precision as its hardtop brethren. There’s plenty of “show” to accompany the “go,” too. ‘FN04FGU’ presents in classic Blade Silver with black fabric hood and original seven spoke Nissan alloy wheels. The classic coupe configuration, long nose; short tail; muscular rear haunches, earnt the 350Z the “mini muscle car” nickname. The VQ35DE, all aluminium, four valves per cylinder, DOHC V6 engine is not only powerful and robust but sounds sublime too. The current vendor rates ‘FN04FGU’s’ condition as “good” throughout with the electrics warranting an “excellent” rating.
The Nissan 350Z was launched in 2003 to become the fifth generation of the marque’s esteemed Z-car line. With the North American market being a key battleground for Nissan, the 350Z’s design was created by the Nissan Design America team based in San Diego. For the UK specification cars suspension tweaks were made by Nissan UK’s Cranfield team to better suit British roads, tastes and conditions. So successful were these that Nissan ultimately adopted them for the Z350 worldwide. It is no surprise, then, that the Z350 is renowned for its responsive “go-kart” like handling.
In summary:
· An unusually low mileage, low owner UK supplied and specified example
· Compete with a full service history and other accompanying paperwork
· With a valid MOT and “good” mechanical condition, this is a “ready to enjoy” car
