Hello chap,

They do come up for sale quite often, give us a little more info about what you are after: N/A? Turbo? Auto/Manual? Condition you are after and what you plan to do - e.g. ground up resto, love drive polish only, resto mod etc.

I love a well sorted / nicely modified 280zx - comfort and go with 80’s cool!

Good hunting!

Hello Alik ,thanks for replying.
It doesn't matter turbo or N/A.
It have to be stock looking car not something modified.
Thanks.
Basil.

Oh wow! That’s got all the right mods to give it the go and handling that was missing from the original!!

And a Janspeed period turbo too is very cool!

Thanks Mr Tenoo.
I saw it it is a very nice car but out of my budget, looking for 2+2 or 2 seater with lower price than that if there is one .

So what is your range of prices you want to look at? Buy the BEST car you can afford - it would be cheaper in the long run!!! Ask me how I know ;)

Indeed mate
Some times you bought something cheap and put double price on services.
My range of price depend on the car but less than 7k£.

That’s about right - you should get a decent N/A with that budget.

Hi Basil

like Ali said, don’t buy cheap especially with 280ZX’s. There aren’t many left in the UK and the good ones will be the more pricy ones.

Here is a good article to look at:

If you do find one, I would strongly suggest you join the club and get some advice from club members before you buy.

Happy hunting
