Hi, Some one old enough to remember that car?

I bought it from Thomas long time ago, and its almost done.
It would be nice to see some old fotos of it.

From 1983 cover of club mag one other inside but also black and white

 

[Mr Ex]

I don't have any photos of it but I've seen it over here twice, once red & once black.
It did appear in the old black & white Z club mag.

It WAS red when I first saw it.

 

[jcf]

it was red some time to yes, do you know when and where it was?

 

[Mr Ex]

The first time I saw that car it was red so it must have been when that club picture was taken in 1983.

When I saw it again it was black & I prefered it in red.

it would be nice to see some fotos of it when it was red.
I have one article from a swedish carmag called Bilsport, it was red and in the text they wrote Toyota 240Z..Thomas never forgave the magazine

I first met Thomas at a Z Club meeting in 1983 - the first outing of my 240Z V8. We shared "Best Z" honours at that meet!

I found these photos in an old collection - they date from 1986 approx. and are at Goodwood Race Circuit and Santa Pod Raceway during a Z Club International week / weekend:

Thomas also made 17"wheels with proper center lock. he did that in 1989.....

Looks gorgeous, great little details on this car that makes all the difference.

Thomas was very gifted that's for sure.

Please post up photos when the car is complete!

I like what you done with the inspection hatches, good idea!!

 

[JakTheRuby]

That colour is tremendous! Wow.

just got this email from thomas

"The car was originally yellow. It was dark blue metallic when I bought
it Oct 31, 1981.
Summer of 1982 I did some rust repairs and
painted it Porsche red (027) but cops used to single me out so I
changed to black in 1985. It started to crack at the seams so I did a
body overhaul in 1988-89 and last colour was Porsche preussian blue
(033x-blue). A nice dark silver colour that went from maroon to purple
in the sun, depending on angle. I didn't use it from 1991 and Jan
bought it, piece by piece from me. The body and registration papers
were signed over to Jan, late 1998.

I now have a Ferrari 288GTO project. VIN number is from a 1981 308.
Body parts are mostly original 288 with a F40 GT/Evo. chrome-moly
frame. Engine used for the build-up is from a Maserati 4200GT which is
basically the same motor as F430. I might buy a F430 specs engine
later. I also have a Lancia Abarth 037 project which might get a twin
turbo Alfa 24v V6 engine and F360 transmission. 288GTO and 037 have
almost identical dimensions, both are Pininfarina designs. Also a 1984
BMW M6 that Jan's company is working on and a front engine 2-seater
that I want some 1960's italian design body on. "
