The Classic Z Register

Amphion, Picket Piece, Hampshire, SP11 6LU.

On March 27th 1988, "THE CLASSIC Z REGISTER" was formed, it's aim being to encourage members to restore/rebuild their Zs in keeping with it's period character. The club has a register, and into this book goes a photograph of a members Z(s) along with all the cars known history. A valuable record of a classic Z.

We primarily cater for the S30 models only, they are referred to as such because the Chassis Nos have S30 in the format. For Example HS30 101547. Whereas the 280ZX is referred to as the S130, the 300ZX - Z30, the facelift model - Z31, the Twin Turbo - Z32 and the 350Z - Z33.

Founders
