Spike Anderson fitted Webers on the Samuris (40 DCOE).
The works rally cars had Mikuni and Fourways fitted Dellortos on the cars they modified.
 
Guide price £10 - £12k ??? would advise close inspection before bidding at them figures. I was offered the car a few years ago at £3,200 & left it alone, If you know Z cars you will know what I'm saying. woof woof.
 
Yes, pretty basic spec, lots of body-filler around the rear end at least. Old school "upgrade". Rather have the MG TF further down the list!

That's the kind of statement which gets everyone believing that a car with triple webbers is a Samuri.
 
car dealers

whats happening out there? or is it normal, this is the 3rd z car thats been ebayed then re advetised elswhere
 
This is interesting, quoted from the catalogue description - "clocking up over a million sales before it was replaced by the equally successful 260Z in 1973." !

Not !

Yep , me too. I remember it being for sale at that sort of money for ages!;)
And its a 260 too NOT a 240Z:eek:
And Kevin Irons built it ... not Spike.
Soooooooooo....... is it REALLY a Samuri????:conf2:

Well I know what I think!!:rolleyes:






Can of GENUINE SAMURI worms now open......
feel free to launch into a tirade or two:D
 
Legally...whomever held the company at the time of build could have called any car they touched a 'super-samuri' - no ?

NO IT DOES NOT, It says Spike fitted webers but so could any Tom,Dick or Rob, And that Fourways fitted Dellortos. Anybody can fit what carbs they like but those 2 companies chose to fit as above.

Does the fact that at some time, Spike fitted Webers to this car make it a Super Samuri then ?

It depends if he fitted the rest of the kit with it.

My original reply was to the above question it was a straight forward question which got a straight forward reply!!


So to talk about Spike & webers = Samuri is silly talk.
As I said in post #11 ANYBOBY can fit what carbs they like.
 
Jeeeze, now i'm really confused as Ive seen Fourways fit Weber's.:conf2: So is it Fourways that are now making Samuri's?:conf2:
 
"......... fitted to the datsun producted Samuri's......." - strange term that !

But what kit (fitted only by Spike) defines a Samuri and specifically a Super Samuri ?


Can a period be defined - I guess up until he ceded the company to Kevin ?

Dear Sean, answer to #1 It looks like someone wanted a history lesson.

#2 there are enough old mag stories about on FFA on it's early days to know what kit I'm on about.

#3 F--k knows, but my personal opinion is only cars that Spike did.
