    SOLD: 1973 RHD 240z - For Sale

    I’m not a big fan of publicising private transactions but I will say it was within 10-15% of the asking price.

    SOLD: 1973 RHD 240z - For Sale

    If someone would like to offer more then I won’t say no :-) I thought it was fairly priced for its condition. The tiles are from a company called MotoTile. Best thing I did to a garage floor!

    Few things immediately need sorting in order to drive her around and get anything sensible back. Speedo cable would be nice, find and fix the reason for the intense fumes in the car when driving around. Oh and an interior. But they are all things that would likely stay regardless of the future...

    I've seen a few companies offer a 'map' highlighting the areas you need to inject cavity wax into. Are these worth securing, or is it pretty obvious once you are under there?
