Hallo all,

 

this is a really completeist, pedantic post and a particularly nit-picky question.

 

We have discovered that the DVLA figures about how many 300ZXs are registered in the UK are wrong. Somewhere between the street and your V5, they make big mistakes about what your car is - I suspect many of you have been registered as a Z31.

 

Not having the correct figures is a) irritating and b) doesn't help negotiations with suppliers like insurance people.

 

Me, I am not going to get involved with suppliers - that's for others - but I would like to know how many of us there are.

 

I reckon this forum has a significant fraction of all 300ZXs in the UK which might help in negotiation with people (eg Nissan Motor and their damn fool look-up charge). But we need to know a little more reliably than the current wrong figs so far.

 

If you want to help with this, please check out the below list of chassis numbers. Is yours correctly listed? If not please let me know.

 

More info and a better laid out table is at

The idea is to gather the supporting info and talk to the DVLA in May when 2001 info should be available.

 

I will also be e-mailing Will at Datsun Owners Club and the zclub and people like Andy Pingram who I know know a lot about this sort of thing. Just not tonight!

 

Cheers pedantically

Hallo All - and thanks to the recent chassis number posters. I haven't had time to update anything over the past few weeks (since the Slough meet, really) - so just grovel for being inefficient.

 

This is still "live" - as am I despite this being my only post for weeks.

 

Thanks again - & keep 'em coming.
