Sort of above.
What the flying duck is a samuri head?
How does it compare to a guy Croft head?
CAn you use a company name when they've folded under such a way?
How big is the register now days?

Indeed !!! As there where only 72 to start with including the 260'sof which there are more of now
the list is growing at a large rate probably because of all the whatever involved with a Samuri's,myth all I can think is the 2 tone paint must preserve them better than any other Z !!! How is it a genuine Samuri if its had a full rebuild & actually from what? There is nothing genuine about virtually all Samuri's nowadays it is all total bull, but it seems to reel them people with too much money in. From my Z early days I wanted a Samuri more than any other 240 & this is what peo
ple are getting hooked on now, after many years achieved this goal but it was not what appeared to be should have got the extra 2k involved at the time to have purchased FFA, so after that I tried to leave Z.s alone but after 12 months & selling my whole stash of parts (wish I still had them now £350 for a lwb high top van load filled to the roof with 240/260 stuff) t
After all this strife of the past 30 years with an extremely understanding mrs, I can safely say the car I just sold is far superior to any so called Samuri apart from FFA196L & Big Sam. Should have bought FFA when I was offered (HIM)
Samuri is a total myth within virtually every case & they seem to be breeding better than rabbit's. Prove me wrong if there are any true bofins about.

Can't dwell on the past you had to opportunity to buy them but you didn't you sound like a baby that's had his ice cream taken.
I would like to see you build a fast 240z beter better than standard oh he was in 1970 aswell so no TECHNOLIGY
Oh and another thing why do alpine sunbeam do a alpine tiger with a v8 in them. Look at price difference on them values

is the loophole because its 'zfm motorsport' trading as the z-farm which means it can happen?
Does that open up a route for those who might be owed money?

Dwell ! What ? I know more than you will ever know on the subject of Samuri's sir. Ice cream ? I quite like ice cream, the one thing I can't deal with in life is bullshit !
What do you actually know about Samuri's ? & by the way my view of your car was smashed to bits the other week by a picture you posted up on this forum.

You are a complete prick, you profess to know more about this than anyone but we see no real proof of this other than your endless running down of any car that isn't/wasn't your own.
You can't deal with bullshit..? That surprises me as you are full of it.
Why don't you just leave this subject alone if you are so against it and let us get on with our hobby in peace.
Back to the actual topic, I'm not going to stand up for Duncan with regards to how he may or may not have conducted his businesses over the years as I don't know the full story, and I can't comment on the rebuild either as I haven't seen it in the metal, but this car is on the register (for what that is worth) or at least one with that particular registration number is.
Good luck with the price if he can get it, mines considerably less and remains unsold (cue some derogatory comment from the aforementioned prick).

I'll unzip my trousers then and ask what difference (and worth) does it make whether a Samuri is on the register or not ?

Why useless ?
For example John's car isn't listed on the register :
http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C789949
"....one of just a handful of surviving cars converted to Samuri specification. This particular car was actually owned and converted early in its life by Kevin Irons himself, a former partner of Spike Anderson at Samuri Conversions at Silverstone..."
http://www.samuri.eu/index_files/Page1566.htm
I think the question to be very pertinant !
What relevance is it whether or not a Samuri is listed in the register or not ?

Sean, adverts are adverts, that's all. Just a way of marketing a product. Mines an advert for my car, Duncan's is an advert for his car. How much fact one puts into their own ad depends on that individual.
When I bought my car the advert said it was 'recorded on the Z club register' now I've been here a while and I am still yet to see this Z Club register (I still have the advert too).
I've had people tell me that my car is both too cheap and too dear. I think its about right for today's climate, but I've still got to find the person who wants a £46K weekend toy, there's a lot of stuff on the market at that sort of budget. Until I do it stays with me..!
And as for the register, well that is all horseshit as we know, how can it go from 1 - 42 with alleged accuracy and then nothing until 75...? Spike is renowned for not keeping any records in period so how can the cars be recorded on the register this way today without any form of history behind it, who decided SMR was car no 24 for instance. And even the cars recorded have the wrong owners attributed to them among other errors.
It really can have little credibility until there is some provenance behind it and we all know that just isn't going to happen.

That's a sensible response
The car Duncan's selling does look nice from the limited pics, although I can not see how it comes to that sort of value. Part of me does wonder if its wearing one of those nice new bulkheads
No one really knows what's happened with the z-farm, it'll be interesting to see how it affects his ability to sell/offer warranty and offer restoration services.
