I would say that 240 was more than just decent

Scientific evidence that the 240z is 56.25% better than a 260Z. If we extrapolate that, its 112.5% better than a 280z.

I would agree if significant works were done by the owner, however from current experience, even when using competitively priced experts (body work, painting, engine rebuild, car rebuild), and using OEM/NOS parts where pos, I know I’ll never recoup my outlay by some margin. It is good to see these sell prices and the benchmark they set but fear inflationary pressures on parts and labour rates will widen the gap once more.

Using your science logic, a Mk I RS Turbo is 245.65% better than a 240z

Tbh it was still a lot of money for a car I’d have to cut the bulkhead out and convert it to something with the steering wheel on the correct side

they also drive better with a 4 speed box and a slower steering rack.

Don’t forget the lovely soft suspension to go with all the pot holes we have.

Yes - I meant more as opposed to concourse / full custom
I reckon the 260z might have done better in a different colour. Seems unfair but brown and silver seem less popular.

I notice the comments section has never really taken off on 'The Market' and the couple of questions that were asked here did not get answered.
It's not like BAT where every man and his dog has an opinion or an axe to grind, but the dialogue between the seller and buying audience gives a much more intereractive experience on that platform. Maybe the difference between British 'reserve' and American (how can I put this politely
) 'enthusiasm'.
£50k plus fees is a fair price for this car and as Tenno mentioned earlier, a good benchmark for nicely restored original UK cars.

Its Inclusive of fees Chris, the seller would net about £46k on it.
