Well folks, the day has finally come. After 7 years of epic ownership, the time has come to sell the greatest car ive ever had the pleasure of owning. Reason for sale, kind of backed into a bit of a corner financially, and this is my ticket out. Guts me to have to do this, but ive been putting it off for the last few years. So, here goes.
Ill do another thread and link it here about my Z story, for those that care. But for this thread, ill get down to business.
Car belonged to markzx, a previous member on here and quiet well known at the time of building this Z.
He did all the major work and ive just finished it off how I wanted and kept it maintained.
Phil and blackmoor service station (previously of C&S woods and builder of a good few highly modded Z,s on here) did the major work for mark, and has continued to keep it on top form and looked after it for me.
Car is UK 1994 manual (converted), its series 4 and last of the UK spec with the charcoal grey leather, but no airbags and emmisions rubbish that came on the later spec.
Mileage on the clock is 159000, however the current engine and gearbox has done around 45000, and all suspension parts, bushes etc have been uprated along the way.
Comes with full mot and has just had both rear sills professionally repaired and has new tyres all round ( bridgestone S02).
So that's the base car.

I spoke at lengths with the previous owner and the mechanic and this car was the culmination of many years of experience and Z/other sports car ownership by Mark. The spec list was very carefully researched and chosen to be an everyday porche beater (the words of mark, and back when it was built, that was true, some quick poches out there now like). The engine produces just over 400bhp and similar torque, the boost comes on smooth but hard and pulls really well. Not the most powerful car out there but its built and tuned to last. This spec is capable of running 500bhp+ as plenty of owners on here are doing. But this car has been and will continue to do this for years. And its never missed a beat. I have used the car for what it was intended and built for. It has done trackdays, drag days, even competed in ten of the best were it got 4th in handling, 8th in top speed run and 9th in 1/4 mile, in rear wheel drive class, and one of the few cars running FULL road spec and standard interior. It has also done countless uk roadtrips with mates, misses, even parents and has recently returned from the nurburgring and a 2500 mile trip of europes best driving roads. A stag do kind of trip were i had 2 Ferrari f430,s for company. The Z did very well both on the straights and on the bends, of which there were many. It coped very well with the heat and thin air at altitude and even stole the show in a few towns with the bonnet up.
So, to sum up. Its been a dream car to own, never landed any major bills other than the usual stuff. Always maintained regardless of cost, its been used but not abused.
THE PRICE!!!
Way back in 2008 this car was up for sale on here for £10000. It needed some tlc so i managed to get it for £9000. Its had a recent respray, all new tyres, front brakes, service, nismo cambelt, plugs, all fluids and filters changed on a major service 2000 miles ago.
You can buy this car and drive away straight to a track, the nurburgring, the alps, a show and shine, whatever takes your fancy.
Im looking for offers around £10000, i realise that may seem ambitious and that the money put into cars is rarely retuned on sale.
But like i said, offers around. Phil the mechanic has said he can verify all the work that's gone into the engine and rest of the car as i only got limited actual paper history when i got the car. Didn't bother me as i knew phil from my previous Z ownership.
There it is folks, sorry its a long read, i could, and probably have gone on forever but its been my passion for so long, wanted to be thorough.
Ill put as many pics on as i can but ive got thousands.
