Excellent feedback Derrick.
Plus it has super cool, rare wheels.
You missed out on a small point...what is/was the sellers asking price?

Well, we know the reserve was north of 3.5k - I guess whoever bought it made an offer/bartered a bit and it was accepted pretty quick. Maybe their target selling price was pretty reasonable. Derrick - if it was you, spill the beans - price benchmarks are always good!
The reserve Price was £5000the registration was JUP 140T anyone know this car, will only be one of the older member like Rob as the seller has had it tucked away for 25 years :lol::lol::lol: sorry Rob
Derrick

Thanks guys for all your positive feed back, will do my best to make this car something to be proud of just like your cars
, i new something would come along so long as i was patient wanted a UK rid car without sunroof two less things too do ,didn't really want all the hassle and cost trying to convert a lhd i know I've got a lot of work ahead of me, but i think after doing the 280zx the 260z looks fairly basic no offence intended just mean theres a lot of electrics on the 280zx 
not present on the 260z also it got the right seats:lol: i am expecting to find a few nasties along the way but don't we all when doing these cars:bang head:
Any advice is welcome such as differences between 78 cars and earlier car before i start buying parts as Wyn has said

Good luck Derrick - if you make it look half as good as your 280 it will be brilliant. So glad another 260Z has fallen into good hands. You know what I am going to say - keep it looking original - don't turn it into some kind of chav-mobile! The S30 is a beautiful car. Enjoy it.
Derek, one bit of advise when painting the car:
Get the bonnet and wings 'wrapped' with clear film so that when those girls at the 'show and shine' events have their pictures taken sprawled all over your car they won't spoil the paint.
