Hello everyone ... I am a newbie (today).

 

My wife and I enjoy our cars. We run a BMW Z3M Coupe which we love, but we do most of our mileage in an old straight six Volvo S80 (automatic, LPG converted). The old Volvo does most things very well, and returns a cost equivalent of 45 mpg, so it is a fine car.

 

My wife finds the Z3 clutch/gearbox a bit heavy, and I fancy a targa top. So we're looking at maybe trying to find a good 300zx automatic targa top. A turbo engine isn't important (the Z3 provides all that is needed in the oomph department). A zx seems - on paper - to offer what we want ... a bit of space inside, a smooth ride and targa tops .... and it is a really handsome car !

 

Looking forward to learning about these cars and benefitting from all your experience on this forum.

Welcome to the club!!

 

Good luck in your search for a 300zx - and you could certainly do a lot worse than check out our "for sale" section as there are a few nice examples on offer; all of which should have the benefit of being looked after by club members...

Hi Jeff

 

That would be really helpful .... thanks.

 

If we buy a z, it (probably) won't be until the new year; but it would be good to look at a couple to see if the z is for us - how big the back seats are, what the targa tops are like, how (if) they stow in the boot etc.

 

Would it be ok to drop in next week to have a look at one ? or maybe you could let me know when you have a 2+2 targa in.

 

Thanks

No problem Kelvin, always have a selection of zeds in so work out a day you can pop over in the week or Saturday morning.
