Hi all! I am James, based down in Brighton. I currently drive a fairly modified SL55 AMG but I have been wanting a Datsun S30 for about 20 years now
My dream was a very particular look, and the car that has the look I have always wanted is available
I am heading over to The Netherlands on Saturday to inspect and drive the car, so I am hoping it's everything they say it is! I'd rather find a mint example that I don't have to spend a ton of money restoring and then modifying to suit if it's already done.
Here is a link to the car

And a video
I know it's not going to be to everyone's taste, especially a purist, but a Z that looks like this has been my dream, so fingers crossed!
The only thing is that it's hard to value the car... I know it's basically £40k, which is a lot, but the only ones I can find on the usual places are around 30-40k anyway. And getting a standard one and getting it to this spec I guess is going to cost me more in the long run?
Anywho, if all goes well this weekend, I hope to see some of you all soon at a meet!
