    Found a copy of the March 1981 Glass,s Guide, this was the same month and year I bought my 2-seat 280zx. Some very interesting prices of the Z range, I should have bought several of the early cars, they were going for what seems peanuts now!!! Andy.

    Looks like Top Gear, on BBC2 tonight, features last years Japfest at Castle Coombe. The "challenge" had them running around the track in a Peugeot, Mgb, and something that I can,t remember. The 240z,s on the track that day were very impressive and made the Top Gear boys look slow. Andy.
