Have you bought that?
If you have, congratulations!

I have fond memories of getting collected from school in a yellow 260Z that my dad had a loan of for a while. Felt like a superstar :thumbsup

Lovely car, the inspiration for the 350z.

Is that a paper storage facility in the background?! :)

That takes me back too.
Got a lift from somebody (can't remember who) in a very early 240Z, i must have been about 13?
Is it a 240 or a 260?
Looks like period Wolfrace wheels too?

Humbled thanks, can't wait to drive it!

It's a 1973 240z, almost totally stock. Was completely bare shell rebuilt in 2013-14.

Has a tubular manifold, period janspeed exhaust, electronic ignition and otherwise everything as is.

That looks lush,

Good that it was a complete bareshell build as eradicating rust is a major pain in a classic and can completely empty your wallet very easily.

Amazing. Always loved the lines of the 240. Pure classic loveliness :-)

Really fancied a 240Z in the late 70's, had to settle for a Triumph GT6. Definitely a poor mans alternative.

Looks great in Red
