Pah.. bit late now..

I like the look as well.. but if I was keeping it I would return it to the original colour as the painters did not use the right paint and its lifting a little.. again an easy fix for the new owner.. same with the seats. they were for back support from an MX 5. I have the original seats which...

Sean. I have so far not found a new lid. I gave up looking some time ago. Its an easy swap to put one on. The lid had been hacked about to put in some switches. Its a little job for the new custodian to have a go at... If the indicators are on the wrong way round.. that will be my fault.. I...

It's mine chaps. decided to retire..

Thanks Guys.. I bought it from Nottingham forget where, but it had been stood a while. It was in a sorry old state. Took the car completely apart and started again. Took an age but it was worth all the work. I will regret it.. but I do not have the time to dedicate to it. Downsizing etc.. even...

Chris Thanks for the feedback. The rather unusual number plate will stay with the car as its got the 240 in it. The carbs were fully restored in America and at great expense.. Electronic ignition in the original distributor, gearbox re built, well just about everything really. I think I have...

Hi It's not what I want to do and I am sickened at the prospect of doing it. But I have to sell as retirement looms.. I have no idea what its worth so a little help to give me a ball park figure please. UK car 1973 Blue. 240Z Matching Numbers RH Drive Excellent condition Restored 2009...

Ban them.. get rid of them its not the car that left the factory is it.. its the idea of the car is all. no soul no history, IMHO

I feel a lot of feathers have been ruffled here. Timing has nothing to do with the fact that the car may or not be the car that left the factory in Japan. It left there as a left hand drive and should still be a left hand drive in my opinion. Why mess with something that's pretty good...

Okay so this one is a conversion to RHD but that does not excuse the fact that there are some out there which are not and are not what they claim to be..

My Observation For what its worth.. I am against this practice of re shelling cars. Using a shell from the States. For one its not a UK car anymore is it? The UK car died to give life to this clone. I am not sure of the way its done but I would assume. The only original bits may be the...

Hey chaps... we are oooop Noooorth and it's not such a backward place like you imagine. We have electricity, running water, gas,roads, the wheel, the internal combustion engines and the magic of flight etc etc..Some of us have Z cars up here as well. To a Yorkshire fellow I am getting a bit...

Chaps.. Uuup Norf here we have a brilliant outfit called noble motorsports they are in chesterfield they can tackle any car.. maybe you have seen the Noble race car? They will be looking at my tuning in the new year. its great up norf.. tha knows.

The solution is simple. Record a 240Z digitally through all the gears, revving idling etc.. and do what they do with the model RC tanks. play the sound track back which is linked via some diggeywhatsit to the throttle pedal and the sounds are synced to the rev range.etc.. it works on a...

Bloody hell.. thats sad.. all that graft and all that work..
