Finally got my Z. 1972 LHD from California. Had a great run up in the Cotswolds to blow out the cobwebs and she feels great. Game on...

That's a very nice example indeed. Love the silver and red interior combo...where abouts in London are you?
 
Love it all over inside and out... just if it was me I'd put a set of OEM s-steel wiper blades on.

Congrats.
 
Nice looking! The Hayashi Streets/Rota BM8s (I'm guessing the latter?) suit the car well - gives it a "mid-Pacific" look - half-way between USDM and JDM! :D

Any particular plans in mind for it? Is it relatively standard or has it received any notable upgrades previously? (I say "upgrades" as the general view is that standard US cars are lacking in spec in a variety of areas compared to UK, Euro, JDM etc. cars. This makes them a good starting point for targeted changes to more fully realise their potential).
 
Love it! Very clean lines in the bumper area, (lack of overriders and the chrome bars) ... Nice stance. Wheels too non-standard for my liking but that's me!

How did you get through the MOT with the red lenses at the back - dopey tester? I had the same ... Not mentioning anything when I eventually take it back but will maybe change to Euro spec in the future.

Looks a lovely car ...
 
Wonderful color combo with that rare red interior, nice job. Let me know when your ready to make those brake cooling scoops in the front air dam functional, I can send you some pics from my car.
 
Great looking car. Another one of yours Mike? Like the mirror(same as i used on the 260).

With a fare few of us in the London area, we will have to get together. Maybe in a London location.
 
Very nice indeed, particularly like the wheels as it's nice to see something other than wolfies
or the JDM type multispoke jobbies and they look great with the silver paintwork :thumbs:
 
Lovely car. Liking the dish on the Bm8's.
Just needs the front drooping a tad to sort the stance out imo.

Yeh, I agree with the others - a good looking car in nice 'nick'. That type of front spoiler is my favourite - they don't look as 'heavy' as the wrap-around type and you can keep the metal valance.

The red/black interior works well.

:thumbs:

Those red Seats and door cards are an addition though from original, yes? Not seen door cards with the top bit being black ...

Car's still lovely though. Does that front spoiler keep it all a bit more stable at high speed ...
 
Lovely looking car. A bit low on the rear suspension (Had the same problem with my own Z at first) but can be fixed. I had the same issue when I bought mine.
