Soon to be Z owner!!!!

[Ian the Zim]

Hey everybody. As the title suggests, I am going to be the proud owner of a Z car!! I am pretty excited about this, and I hopped onto this site as soon as I could.

Ok about my car:
Datsun 240Z
In the book it says 1973, but it has the vertical rear windscreen heater, which I think means it is a late '72. (do not take my word for it)
It is metallic blue.
The paintwork will need to be redone sometime, but otherwise it is mint.
The engine is completely standard, no mods that I know of.
Oh yeah the car is also in Zimbabwe... I will be too, once I have saved up enough money to pay for it (Buying it off my dad). Are there any other Zimbabweans on this forum?

This will not be my first Datsun powered car. I also have, in Zim, a 1958 Austin Healey Sprite Mk I (The frogeye) which has a Datsun 1200 motor in it.

Hi and welcome, would be great to see a few pics of the collection of you have them.

KK... Here is the only photo of my 240Z that I have at the mo, and a pic of mine and my dads Sprite. Mine is the white one with the stripes.

Hi - looking forward to seeing more of you and your car.

looks like a nice car and RHD if not mistaken

 

[Ian the Zim]

You are correct, it is a right hand drive. This is a good thing, because all I have ever driven are right hand drive, and everywhere I have driven is on the left.

Are RHD ones not that common?

You lucky so and so.
(See mods I can be subtle)

You may only call a lucky whatsits when I can actually drive the car. My babies are in Zimbabwe while I am here in England working to pay off the 240. The wait will be very worth it though.
