Chris AME Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Me and my dad have recently acquired a very clean 260z that is nearly complete and pair of 280zx's both requiring a restoration when they are complete we may hunt for a 240z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I think the less availabe nice and clean models of 240z in the UK, the prices will go up, better buy now http://www.carandcla....uk/car/C480787 £29,500!! Bl**dy hell, ..never realized they could be worth so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisS Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 We had 5 of them at this years LakeZ. The silver one should be taken off it's owner. I've seen better looked after beans cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkwright Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) I have a 260 Z standing in my drive. It's not been run for at least 4 years now and the bodywork is in need of love and attention. I have a few replacement panels for it but although i am reluctant to admit it the job is too big for me I haven't got a clue how to post up pics but I may be able to email them. NB this is not a small job and will require a great deal of work and £.s.d. This is not a for sale ad but if anyone's interested drop me a pm. Bear in mind the price of an average UK 240Z is now reaching the ridiculous. Rough ones are also silly money. 260Z's are shooting the same way. The early 260Z shell (which this one is) is the same as a 240 but the later ones are subtly different. Anyone coming to Zed Fest is welcome to take a look as it's about 4 miles away otherwise it's available any time.

grahamc Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Oh yes, definitely add me to the list! I will be doing a "proper project", just depends on your idea of restoration. I will start looking at the beginning of next year for the car, got some other projects to finish up first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
