Well here we go my first ever post on a forum 1, A couple of weeks ago I was asked if I wanted to view some tools and a four poster lift that were coming for sale due to an elderly gentleman having gone into care, well to my surprise when I went to view them parked on the lift was a stunning looking red 260z Datsun. well I now own the contents of the garage including the car . The car has been unused for 7 years and was restored by the previous owner,. I have had to remove and clean fuel tank as pickup pipe was blocked with congealed fuel, cleaned the points, replaced seized and leaking clutch cylinders, bled the brakes and replaced the battery and it fired up and run great, Hopefully can get an mot this week and get it on the road for August, hoping to take it along to the festival of wheels at Barleylands Farm in Essex for its maiden show.,Hoping I might get a couple of cars to that show from our family collection.
A summary of the car is
Original colour was green metallic, now painted in a Ford red
Period 100+alloy wheels
5 speed gear box
Glass sun roof, not sure if this is a factory fitting ?
Dash board moulding perfect
small crack near choke in centre consul
No rear bumper fitted
Looking forward to driving it and meeting other z car owners
