Wanted 280Z

[bobzilla7]

Thanks, saves me a journey ... my Land Rover's engine bay looks better than that.

It's a very early Bowler... the granddaddy. 100 inch wheelbase. Here's a shot next to a 90 (my Bowler's on the right) and one showing its axle travel. They were built for off road racing.

Nice!

Nice!

Thanks Paul. She's a lot of fun! 4.2 V8.

Thank You - not sure how i missed that one

That confirms what i thought about the engine bay

Aye, that servo brake booster

 

[Robotsan]

It's a shame cos I like the way it looks from a distance!

It could be good value at 20k though, who knows. You'd have to have a proper look at it with someone who knows what they're looking at.

 

[bobzilla7]

I've upped my budget to £25k.
No-one is replying to me with regards to the white one unfortunately.

 

[Robotsan]

That's weird. Do you know who the company selling it is? If not, does anyone else know?

 

[bobzilla7]

Car & Classic I believe.

Ahh sorry I thought it was being sold by a dealer via C&C. But it's a private seller.

I went to see the 240 that is on ebay and almost bought it. It sounded and drove really nice with no rattles and bangs. The paint job was done about ten years ago and there were a few rust bubbles in the paint. Underneath looked OK but hard to see as it was so low. The inside plastics were brown but he had started to spray them black which was a bit of a mess

The grey one with the wide arches?
