Nice original low mileage UK 260Z for sale on https://www.carandclassic.com/list/68/datsun+260z/ if anyone is interested. Just £119,500 and even includes a sunroof !!!

Plan to attend the Buxton classic car auction tomorrow. Noticed a 280xz 2+2 at estimate £20,000-£25,000 + buyers premium! A Little startled but await the outcome. I wonder that the established 240Z/260Zorder is about to be eclipsed.

Looked on the HML site and know that much of their work is voluntary and so appreciate their involvement. It can't be easy! Have noticed that the number of 260z's manufactured in 1973 has jumped from 1 last year to 7 this year!! Just wish my savings could make the same quantum leap. Is...

Breezing through the latest issue of Classic Car Weekly I couldn't helpbut notice the sale of a 260 2+2 by DVCA on 13th September. It was described as condition 2+ so not perfect but certainly useable and decent. Don't have any details of origin or 'detailed' details but was suprised and...

The Hagerty price guide update for Q3 2017 is interesting reading. Although there are now frequent reports of 'crashing' in classic car values it seems that many continue to rise (typically by around 5% a year). Those which have fallen, in some cases quite dramatically, include certain...

A late ('77) 260Z on carandclassic.co.uk at the moment. It's an Aussie car and so I imagine you will need to add P&P. Yours for £43,000.00. You could always add UK spoilers for a few quid more. If you want something a little cheaper and nearer to home what about the next on the site list at...

Not so good at posting links but a late (silver) 260z 2 seater rhd has arrived on E-Bay. Looks good on the limited images presented. Bumpers, plates and indcators are a bit 'iffy' but relatively minor issues. Price seems keen if no huge underbelly issues.

I am aware that the very early 260Z floor pan is the same as the 240Z. Does anyone known when the definitive change to the altered floorpan occurred (maybe by car number? Also, to what extent do early 260Z's share other bodywork components (perhaps doors/sills?). The floorpans of my own car...

Nice to see a four page spread in such a popular weekly rag covering the 240/260Z. Also nice to see input from Jon Newlyn (Classic Z Register). Unusual to see both featured early Z's have their correct UK spec front indicators slung under the bumper. I am though aware that at the time they...

Having had the original VIN plate 'stolen' from my own car whilst undergoing light restoration I have managed to find a source for a replacement plate. Perhaps helpful to others (for whatever reason) I found 'Datskool' on the AU 'Ebay' site. They can provide a high quality replacement plate...

Seems that relative number of early 'Z's here in the UK & Northern Ireland has moved upwardly over the early quarters of 2016. Licenced' numbers (looking at howmanyleft.com) indicate; 240z - 187 260z -57 260 2+2 - 26 Not really many in any group. Still though significant 'and perhaps'...

Just looking through Car Buyer and noticed a couple of 1974 260Z Samari (apparently authenticated) are on Silverstone Auctions. Anticipated £35,000 - 45,500.

Sadly the forum seems to be degenerating to a close exchange between just a handful of individuals. Some more 'gobby' than others. I wonder that a self-regulatory limitation to the the number of posts per day should be limited to perhaps 5. Also, at least 3 useful sentences might usefully be...

Has some time to go but would be interested on the pro's/cons of fuel injection in these old cars?. The car advertised seems to be an Aussie import and has a few issues (bumpers/bumper rubbers, dash cracks, odd spoiler, tatty interior etc) but otherwise superficially fair. Is conversion to...

Routinely needed and obviously a service item but increasingly (and frustratingly) difficult to obtain. The more modern preformed 'fibre' type, if you can get them seem very fragile (unlike the older cork ones which could cope with one or two re-uses) and I wonder how effective the easily...

Moving away from the frequently awful stuff which occurs on ebay there is (what looks like) a really good '77 260Z on Brightwells Auction (Leominster 4th March). I can't work out how to do that 'link' stuff but it can be found at www.brightwells.com. It's lot 163 with a guide of £15-18,000...

Just a diversion from the usual technical/critical stuff but have wondered how many forum members have read the (for me) seminal road review of the 260Z published in the April 1974 Edition of Motor Sport? The edition can even now be found on Ebay! The review is couched in language of the...

I have seen refurbished 'chrome on plastic' trims for the rear light panels on ebay at some massively unrealistic cost but am aware that there are many specialist firms here in the UK that can do this process. The problem is separating the 'chrome on plastic' bits from the body of the light...

Had a MOT advisory a couple of months ago that the inner track rod ends of my 74 260z are worn. Have tried to source replacement parts and it seems that they are no longer available. Not available through MJP. Anyone encountered similar issues and and any idea's how to go about sorting the...

Although they look similar the 2+2 does have a wider rear light cluster surround. Is though the light lens insert interchangeable between the 2+2 and the 2 seater? :confused:
