My lovely 1987 auto ZX has been on SORN for a year or two, but I'm starting to get it ready to get back on the road, possibly with a view to selling it (the hiccup was lack of funds).

 

It's a tidy little (or not so little!) car and ran very well until a combination of head gasket/radiator/thermostat probs took her off the road. These have now been sorted.

 

My question is basically am I foolish to think of selling her? I've never ever seen another of this vintage on the road and very rarely on the likes of e-bay. Is it worth keeping for its rarity value - always assuming I can afford to keep it that is?!

 

And tied to this... does anyone out there have any knowledge of what a reasonable example might fetch in these hard times?

 

Ta muchly...

Z31's they do pop up on e-bay now and again but price is condition dependant, ive seen good ones with mot go for over £2000.00 and not so good ones with no mot and work needed go for as little as £400.00 sorry to hear its of the road needing work i know that feeling

 

do you know exactly what is needed etc to get it fixed?.... please lets not see this turn in to a how much? thread though as you need to be a subbed member to sell :)

I would say keep it mate, the value of all 300zx`s are pants at the moment and can only go up from rock bottom prices, I too have a z31 and would like to sell, but knowing that it would fetch under a grand I would rather keep hold a little longer.

Your Z31 isn't white by any chance is it bud?

Thanks guys, you sort of confirmed what I thought!

 

I think the last sticking point was the thermostat, but I have a good mechanic working on it... After that it's mainly getting it thru an MOT etc. It does seem silly to try and sell at the moment but.......
