Because, of course, the British buying public only like 2+2 auto versions of their Z models....
If we had been allowed the coupe turbo targa version of the 280ZX the model might have had a better press and more may have survived to the present day.
280ZX R.I.P. - soon to be an extinct species on these shores....

Still a shame that the steering wheel and that of the first generation 300ZX is s**t !
Nissan could have continued the sporting theme into the interior !

Hi,
Obviously some tastes were different back then!...Comparable cars of the time had similar interiors, for instance, the Celica Supra had a similar steering wheel to the early Z31.
One road tester when the Z31 was new, described the inerior as being "in the style of a seedy upmarket saloon"!
I think that now, as long as you get one of the subtler interior colours and a nice after market wheel, then the 280 and 300 interiors aren't too bad!...I like them!
Cheerz,

My '87 Z31 has a nice Nissan 3 spoke wheel and I like it but the earlier Z31 wheel and the 280ZX wheels are horrible !
Agreed that Toyota also made horrible wheels (especially after the Celicas) but even the Celica (can't remember which model) that was available convertible, and in 2.0 ltr and 1.6 ltr versions had a nice wheel !
Why did Nissan go down from the 260Z /280Z and produce a vans' steering wheel ?
