JK, I didn't read that into Gwyn's comment he's really talking about the lack of Samuri originality/provenance.
Correct Rob. Thanks for that.

Rob, I think a few people have tried to buy it over the last couple of years, but, and this is just what I've been told, the man either wants too much money, or is not very receptive to offers. I suppose it depends how much someone is prepared to pay, the pictures from 2004 are pretty bad, it must be a whole lot worse 9 years on
Where would I find the chassis number stamped on the body on my 240z Sam ?

Where have you heard that Franky..??What doesn't help are stories of 'genuine samuri certificates' being exchanged for a few hundred quid and a back story created.

It begs two questions
1. What exactly is a "Samuri"
2. Why the hype .
Q1 (A) A Samuri is a modified 240Z/260Z built by Spike Anderson in the early 70's to mid 80's the full package consisted of a striking paint job, reworked cylinder head, triple side drafts, six branch manifold & system, lowered suspension, big wheels & big brakes on the front.
ht.
There's 225 registered 240z in the uk and 42 cars on the Samuri register less an odd Celica and a scrapper in Russia that's quite a high percentage
The scrapper in Russia is not a samuri how can it be its on a H plate the earliest 240's registered in the uk where on a J & there where only 2 of them ! I did read somewhere that that car on the H plate is an early example of a Samuri B******t.
