Slick pete will be dusting of his cheque book!

:thumbup:If I had a back garden big enough, that's exactly what I would do but with 32's. Mmmmmm.

Slick pete will be dusting of his cheque book!

 

well not just at the moment.

This has all been seen and discussed on Zclub as you might imagine.

Its highly interesting for sure but you know the old saying... " if it seems to good to be true... it probably is."

I cant get all the pics to open but ones that do show all the cars visible are partly dismantled.. Just getting one car complete with all its correct parts is a potential nightmare.

That number would be too many cars for our european market all at one time.

i know two organizations that import 240Z in small batches . In fact I currently have one and I have listed for sale as a running restoration project.

I know its a bit more money but just look at my pics. Its one complete car and it runs drives n stops. All of these cars in the collection will need a couple of hundred hours and several thousand pounds spending on each one!!

 

And bear in mind that the 240Z has a huge following in the states. If this collection was such a bargain it would have sold in the US almost straight away.

I had seen that one actually pete, lovely looking thing. If only I didnt have to buy a house!

would it be a hard job to convert to RHD

would it be a hard job to convert to RHD

 

Not sure, but think Pete would know as he has the parts available with his to do the conversion.

 

Pete do you still have that stunning red one in your garage that was there when i came up to see you?. that was a real beauty.

would it be a hard job to convert to RHD

 

nope but you would also need a doner car so in one way another z in the UK but also another Z gone from the UK

Unless there was a breaker/accident damaged one.

 

Personally I'd go for a 280Z (not ZX) as they seem harder to find, and have the 2.8 engine in......... I'm part way there already, I've got the Workshop and Owners manuals for one :D

Another thing is why change it to RHD

And also would love a 280Z but would have to take off the awful federal bumpers

it isnt hard. just tedious. You do need a list of RH parts of course. Dash. rack and pedal box . Its useful to have a full RHD bulkhead to pick all the bits off.

for anyone looking at my LHD one for sale I have a full kit of conversion parts available as per the advert.

Some of us just ran them LHD of course.

 

nope but you would also need a doner car so in one way another z in the UK but also another Z gone from the UK

 

Given the ever increasing values of RHD 240Zs the only cars being broken are those totally beyond economic/practical repair. I personally have NEVER broken a 240Z that could have gone on the road again.

So no actual loss to the existing rhd 240Zs

 

Not sure, but think Pete would know as he has the parts available with his to do the conversion.

 

Pete do you still have that stunning red one in your garage that was there when i came up to see you?. that was a real beauty.

no the red LHD 240Z is now owned by a happy chappie in France.

The grey one will probably head that way too unless a UK buyer comes along in the next few weeks. already have contacts etc in to the European 240Z scene which is very buoyant and isnt bogged down by low budget bodgit and fixit mentality owners like the UK

The 280Z is numerically the most common model of S30 in the US. It has never quite reached the respect and status of the 240Z even in the US.

It is however a competent car it its own right.

Likewize the 280ZX has a huge following and numbers in the US. As with most of the Z range the 2 seater is the one to have. Like Mr Burns picked!!

...And also would love a 280Z but would have to take off the awful federal bumpers

Yep totally agree there Steve... Hideous!

Sorry Pete, never realised there were more of them, as you hardly see any for sale compared to US 240's and 260's.

As for the 280ZX, agree there as well, it has to be a 2 seater. In fact the onlly 2+2 I do like is the Z32 :D

Well I might as well do a bit of blatant advertizing AND post whoring all at the same time.:innocent:

 

this could be yours for under £5K:ohmy:

Pete,

This is the 280ZX that got my attention originally, you may know the owner as he is a ZClub member.

Absolutely gorgeous motor :tongue_smilie:

And not a single piece of bodykit in sight.:)

 

Stock shape enhanced by some very nice wheels.:bow::bow:

Like the 240Z it never caught on here but thousands were sold in the US. You can understand why when they are this nice. And in truth were better suited to American style and roads than the 240Z
