280ZX up for auction
- Thread starter RIDDLER
- Start date
That is a common mistake with 280ZX's, my Dad is often telling me he has seen a cheap 240Z in the mags and when I look it's a 280ZX. I even had a relation who saw a 300ZX Z31 for sale in a garage think it was an early Z (240 or 280).
It just shows the strength/image of the Z badge!

Riddler,
Yes your right, it was my Son, he kindly took the day off work to drive me and reckons the car would "look great with a spoiler".I had to explain to him this is now a Classic car and the more original the better.Too many of them were bought cheaply and "blinged"as the cars got older.
Candy Red,
Is the wheel the same original type?, can you give me details and price please.
I have not had chance to look at the car yet, just took the wifes car out of the garage and parked it in there(much to her annoyance!), but will start looking it over the first chance i get, can anyone tell me please the best place for spares/parts etc.
My story of the purchase of my old car has caused quite a stir with workmates, some of them remember the day 31 years ago when it was delivered to my workplace, British Aerospace at Filton, i asked them to check it over with me, we are all Aircraft Painters and were working on Concordes then. I had photos taken of me with the car and three Concordes parked behind, have misplaced the photos but will keep looking for them.I have however found my original purchase receipt.

Zbloke,
Yes the Spitfire is with Rolls Royce at Filton, but i don,t expect it will be for much longer as the Airfield is closing at the end of the year, it may already have moved.I shall ask two of my workmates as they help to keep it flying,they carry-out any paint work on it.
Riddler,
Thanks for letting me know about the magazine, i would be more than happy to let them feature it.After looking through the history folder that came with it, i found photos that show it whilst being restored, i assume that this would help with any article published.
Came home early from work today to have a look at it, my teenage Daughter thinks its wonderful but can,t work out how i could afford it back then?,i had to explain it took lots of overtime and a passion to get one!.
She,s right though it really looks beautful and sounds awesome even with the exhaust blowing.
