Are S30 all the same

[240_Z]

Hi Guys

Are the S30 shells all the same.I mean are all the RHD ones the same , and are all the LHD ones the same , or was their 101 differences over the years.

I guess it changed with the introduction of the 260z. Were they strengthened over the years , or did they basically stay the same?

No offence but how do you know ?

Sean how do you know yours aint original

 

[SeanDezart]

Stupid question - I didn't know if mine was original when I bought it and it certainly hasn't been since and is not intended to be so.

why did you not know it was original when you bought it,or even fairly original,i knew mine wasnt original when i brough it over 25 years ago and im older than you

 

[240_Z]

No offence but how do you know ?

I know because I spoke to both the previous owners , when I bought it. I was told its full history at the time.It never had any body panels or body work at the time and I know exactly whats happened to it since.Was on original 175 14 tyres with hubcaps.Any changes from original have been since I have owned the car , they being wheels and tyres and mot required items.

240 z,some panels from a late 240 will fit an early 260 but allways check before you buy

Are you - I'm 50 next year !

I didn't care if it was original :lol:!

So Mark, if everything is pukka and I'm very happy for you - why the original question ?

Just interested in everything 240z or 260z related.

I could have asked how many of the 71 cars came into the UK and how many still survive? Cant remember the last time I saw a K reg.Any on here? Or how many of the first batch of 260z came into the country and how many survive?

Boring questions to most I suppose.

 

[SeanDezart]

No, not boring questions.

'K' plates are less rare than you suppose thanks to later imports and age related plates.

 

[240_Z]

Maybe - either way cant be many 240z in the UK , even including imports.

 

[Tim Jewitt]

Who knows how accurate it is, but according to this, 223 including SORN, 23 '71s: Combined stats (1 models) 240 Z - How Many Left?

 

[240_Z]

Something strange there - only 11 taxed and sorn for 1973 ??
That cant be right , or am I reading it wrong?
