Inkey$ I've got another Z pics on pg2 pic heavy
A 1972 Datsun 240Z from Seattle, as some of you know I've always loved the 240 and regret, somewhat selling mine all those years ago, any how I've been on the lookout and finally got a cracker, the thing that set me off was Quentin Wilson on his classic car show, he did a little feature, he said they're an icon, were around £10K and risen to £25K, I sold mine 14yrs ago for £6750, it won best restored at the Autoglym Concours twice, and will be £50K+ " mark my words"
Anyhow I've got a 72 Orange one that's been totally restored, inside and out, suspension off, engine out and rebuilt, if someone can tell me how to post pics on my ipad I'll glady do that, tapatalk is disabled so I'm bamboozled
I'm looking into shipping atm, takes about a month, and I'll use it for high days and the Le Mans Classic etc
I'm a very happy bunny!

Similar to Pistonheads and look under Datsun, then obviously 240Z

Congrats Darren, looks nice. What have you got to change to get it through an MOT, just the headlights?

I don't know tbh Steve, I don't think it would have running lights, I think you're probably right with the headlightssrhutch wrote:Congrats Darren, looks nice. What have you got to change to get it through an MOT, just the headlights?

Re: Inkey$ I've bought another Z
Thankyou very much, I found an Orange with white interior, very Huggy Bear , one owner unrestored one in North Carolina at $20K which is a bargain but this one has had everything done so I've bit the bulletjohn-e89 wrote:Oh that's georgeous, my schoolboy fave car, twin su carbs trouble free.

Looks a real gem,it's a pity to bring it out of a dry zone into our wet climate.

This kind of thing is brill, people working hard and then going and buying mad, float their boat things just for the hell of it. Life's too short to hoard it all, have a big fat grin along the way.
