Magnificent 1996 300zx TT Auto Fresh Import Just 45,000 Miles Near FSH

Hi Chaps, fresh from making one new member very happy here is the next car for your perusal. This is a quite stunning 1996 300ZX LWB TT Auto in Gleaming Metallic Blue.

This car has just covered 45,000 miles in 19 years and has a very comprehensive service history, plus a timing belt change around 10,000 kilometeres ago. As you can see I have now decided to Register all of the cars I bring in to make it easier for a potential new owner to drive the car away. This has come in on an N Plate.

I hope the pictures do it enough justice because this paintwork just shines like it was brand new, a deep rich Blue colour that in normal UK gloomy daylight looks a deep royal Blue, and in sunlight sparkles and pops with a metallic glint.

There are just a couple of minor paint flaws. There is a small patch of touch up on the near side front wing (see pics) and a tiny scuff on one front corner. Other than this a few near invisible stone chips and a couple of tiny and again near invisible dents.

What I want to make crystal clear is this/ THERE IS NOT ONE SPOT OF RUST ANYWHERE!!!. I have taken close ups of all four wheel arches so that you can see for yourselves. The wheels and tyres are superb!

The cloth interior is in immaculate condition. no tears or rubs to the material. no cigarette burns and no splits anywhere.

There is an automatic turbo timer fitted to the car so you can never just switch the car off without forgetting.

I took the car out yesterday for a long drive and it performed superbly. Incredible power and perfect handling. MOT for 11 months

There is a crack in the perspex panel above the rear light cluster. I aim to get a replacement so that this is cured.

regards

Grey strip seems to be missing?

 

Looks even better under the bonnet

has it been sprayed or is it the light front bumper looks lot darker ? from the wing may a trick of the light DSC02215.jpg

A trick of the light I suspect. I can see no evidence if any respray. The Japs are meticulous though, many will change a panel if it gets scratched or dented rather than have it fixed. This wing is the one with the touch up, so doesn't seem to follow that it has been resprayed

must be the light then its a nice car am sure some one will have that

It's good to see someone taking the time to source decent cars for the import market again.

Quality examples like these coming into the UK will help bolster the prices of the quality cars already here.

 

Hopefully someone will have that off you soon.

Well I am certainly trying very hard to get good quality cars here. The UK is the only market that has not yet seen a huge increase in prices. I tell you though that I think it's coming! Take a look at EBAY USA and put in highest prices first and you will see what I mean. Also the Japanese goo.net have the manual TT's for around 15k for a great late model

Yep, difficult to find an early zed for less than 12k Euro in mainland Europe these days !

Only cos steering wheel is on the right side

I saw this car, it's lovely. First thing I noticed was the paintwork was really, really good. Trust me, I have just had the best afternoon in ages tooling round in one of Garry's recent imports and his motors are quite something else. I travelled to far flung corners looking at mediocre to shite cars and their is a noticeable difference to the quality Garry is supplying. Would highly recommend to anyone to just take a look if your after a nice clean 300zx, you won't go wrong. All I have done to mine is polish it and drive it. :-)

GLWT sale Garry, Cheers again man.

Thanks for the endorsement Chris. Clearly you are enjoying the Purple Z

Still buzzing, had a great spin round today, got the roof off, sounds up and got used to her, really happy with the car mate, really happy.

Mmm nice, couldn't help but notice the N/A dial cluster?

 

Didn't Nissan do away with the boost gauge for this Series of Zed...?
