RHD 240z on Autotrader

What surprises me about this thread is that despite the car being rhd and relatively rare, having it's number plate displayed and the fact that from its appearance it doesn't appear to be a barn find and not been stored out of site for donkeys years, nobody on here seems to know the car or any of it's history. Even if it had been previously on different plates, I thought someone might have recognized it from the pics.
Having said all the previous, it does appear that quite often rhd cars do appear and yet no one is familiar with them.

No one knew my car either! Or maybe it had such a bad history no one wanted to say anything ;)

From the car's MOT history - hardly any - it may explain why no-one knows it. My complete guess is that the car was stored, hidden away etc and then MOT'd in 2016, having been dragged out from wherever it was and failed, as there is no online history of any MOT's before and they've been available for a fair few years now ...

Those floors do look like they've been getting a bit crusty though, somewhere ...

Once upon a time, there was an idea to hold an up to date register of cars....
 
This one looks like trouble. Look at the panel fit at the door openings. Why are the rear side bumpers and rear wing recesses shorter than usual? Lots of overspray in the engine bay. Could this be an LHD 280Z with federal bumpers converted to RHD?
