Cayman Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Just joined as I am looking to get a 350z in the very near future. Been reading up on some of the things to look out for when buying etc, very interesting, well done to all those that contributed. Currently have a S14 200sx that I have owned for ages and just sold my e type Jag, part of which is funding the 350z purchase, so going down from 4.2ltr to just 3.5ltr! I live in West Sussex and am on the lookout for 350z's for sale. Probably £8000 max. Thanks Simon Quote
firemansim Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 God I'd kill for an e-type, best of luck with your search Quote
Cayman Posted October 27, 2014 Author Posted October 27, 2014 Photo of E Type below. It was a wish of mine to own one. But driving an original is exciting to say the least imagine 1950's tech brakes and steering and suspension on a 140mph car. Seems almost all modern cars can outbrake an E type. They are cheapish to run though, limited mileage insurance about £100 no road tax, parts mostly BL standard parts (excl bodywork) no fancy electrics to go wrong. Just very friendly with the local petrol station! Quote

If you have an idea as to colour, coupe or roadster etc then we, as a collective can help by keeping our eyes and ears to the ground for you. Happy hunting. Quote
14N Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Hello and Cayman. As a break from all the reading and research you're currently doing in your quest for a Zed, you may find this thread interesting: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/68166-major-jaaaag-project-mini-update-29th-sept-2014/ Quote
GMballistic Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Welcome aboard Simon. Love the E type, ...very nice clean & original looking car. Good luck with the Zed hunt. Quote
ATTAK Z Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 the 350 z is a much better car than the E-Type ... faster, better handling, less noisy, more comfortable ... but then it should be given the age difference ... enjoy Quote
veeg33 Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Hello and welcome 👋 good luck with the hunt! Quote
Cayman Posted December 16, 2014 Author Posted December 16, 2014 Just to update, looked at a few but one that seems to tick most of the boxes is this baby http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/nissan/350z/nissan-350z-roadster--maintained-and-original-uk-car/3123182 Any comments from the more experienced owners on here? (Yes I did want a blue roadster) Quote
