I've seen the Top Gear episode with about 6 or so Z cars from all the different eras but I caught this one on Dave that I'd not seen before! Popped it on youtube

thats been posted before, think it was the topgear generation challenge

Yea thats quite an old one still great to see though

Not sure who owned the white car in the generation challenge, but Zairs now has the silver one in the drag strip race and wants to turn it into some kind of monstrosity! LOL Shame, famous and very clean original car.

That was Gio's car. Pristine stock example of a Z32.

 

I think he was even running with a boost leak as well at that point.

LOL I should have watched the link first :p

 

Not sure who's the white one is an that clip, anyone want to own up? :D

The white z is oned by a chap near yourself dunk, in fact sure it is actually Halesowen, I know the car really well, we prepared the car for the Top Gear day, in fact a chap called Roland from the BBC rang us to supply a Z for that challenge but Nissan insisted that it be completely standard so we suggeted the white one.

 

The last time I saw it ( Silverstone 2007 ) it had around 30k on the clock which completely true, he bought it from a Nissan dealer by you, it had one previous owner...the Nissan garage itself, when it came to us the first time

(4 years ago) it still had the plastic on the rear seats.

 

For the Top Gear day we had the unenviable task of removing the strange goo stuff that many UK spec engine bays are covered in, something I guess should have been removed when they were sold.

 

So Dunk keep you eyes pealed it lives by you :hyper:

The white 300ZX was (is?) owned by Steve Willetts...It won the Concourse at the JAE at Billing back in 2004 and also featured on the Z Club stand at the NEC Classic Show too.

He was at Tatton Park with the car last year and I think the only modification that the car has had was to fit 350z wheels!

Sorry I meant Paul Willetts...Not Steve Willetts!....There's a feature on his car in the Spring 2005 Z Club Mag!

Cheerz,

Jez.

Blimey!

 

I didn't know he was from Halesowen too! I can go for weeks, months without seeing another Z by me. :(

 

I know the nissan dealer that he may have bought it from too:

 

Bob Julier Nissan

Brettell Lane

Brierley Hill

West Midlands

DY5 3LS

 

Tel: 1384574444

 

They're ok for some stuff, but not the best. I'd guess they would have loved him when he handed over his £35k+++ though lol!

 

All the best.

It belongs to Zairs now Si, he can do what he likes with it I guess. :duffer:

I know, which is why I said shame...

In your "humble" opinion lol

Correct!

hehe

I've copied the article about the white 300ZX that raced the 350z on Top Gear, onto the Z Club site.....
