Harsh but true Sean....... Mention a 280Z to most people in UK that are classic enthusiasts but not Datsun savvy and they automatically think of ZX and it would be expensive if it was 2+2 hence justified in saying less desirable. Expensive for 4 speed ? Thought you liked higher prices, good for business
Will throw in a 200SX box in the price then. Low mileage original paint cars are the holy grail in classic world and as long as body in commensurate shape top of the price tree. Not to be confused with usual imports out of the States that have cheap blow over repaints where they don't bother to take off trim or take out glass so overspray on the rubbers etc.
Glad you like the silvery oak Franky ( how's the new business going ? ) come and have a play in the 280 whilst you're waiting for your car to get finished.
