So after many years of wanting a 240Z I've finally decided to take the plunge and here she is! The car is a 1973 import from California with 44k on the clock and has been off the road since before i was born! It has an L28 engine, 5 speed gearbox and, as you can see, a couple of things missing... Thankfully the majority of the bits that are missing don't bother me too much as i'm not after a concourse original car!
The plan long term is to have a car which has the style and beauty of a classic Z but the underpinnings of a newer car. Coilover suspension, RB engine swap, welded in cage and a fresh paint job are all in my minds eye but these are plans for the far distant future as I aim to keep the car for many, many years to come! I hope that anything i buy for the car will be applicable for both the short and long term plans but we'll see how we do!

After driving over 1000 miles in 2.5 days the collection from Scotland was a success and we have her home in the Shire!
The aim for the short term is to get her registered, road legal, reliable and semi presentable. She won't be seeing any roads until spring time next year which should give me plenty of time to source the parts i need, get her running reliably and give everything underneath the car a good coating of POR-15. Really excited to start working on her so let's get this thing under way! Watch this space
