Hi all my old pals, long time since I have been on here, mostly because my love Bill is quite seriously ill. I was 60 last month and while most women get jewellery I got myself a 1981 280zx. A love very original example with less than 7k miles on the clock. all the MOTs to verify this, original bill of sale, receipt for full rustproofing and undersealing done when it was 2 years old. I will try get pics up. I have wanted a classic Z for a while, to suit my new age, but the 240 and 260 are gone way out of my price range. Have to say I am very happy with this buy.

Hi trish thats great news hun get some pics up. Happy belated birthday too.

Nice to hear from you Trish, sorry to hear about Bill, hope he recovers to better health :thumbup1:

 

The 280z was my first introduction to the zed bug back in the nineties when my ex father-in-law had one, also he had a 260z with a 280 engine in it, which i got to drive for a while, till i got the gears caught between 4th and fifth lol. I was told to go careful, but was showing off to a mate, was in my early twenties and had no respect to what is now a classic.

 

Look forward to the pics, must be a great example with that mileage:thumbup:

Welcome back Trish:thumbup1:Looking forward to a few pics, Good to hear from you, yet I'm sorry to hear about Bill, hope he's on the mend.

Good to hear from you and good choice presuming it's the blue Z for sale not so long ago! Best of luck to Bill.

Good to hear from you Trish and sorry Bill is unwell I remember him at Coventry and he is a bit of a character so tell him we are thinking of him. Cant believe you found such a low mileage 280zx and we need some pics.

Great stuff Trish look forward to the pics!

 

Sorry to hear about Bill, best wishes to him

Thanks all I have passed on all the good wishes. I will probably take it to cars and coffee this Sunday am in Bray. Jay or Dave you going??

I might make it out - what time would you be there?

Yup, I'll be there

i hope to be there 10.30 ish. I just got alarm and immobiliser fitted this morning the guy said it had the cleanist wiring he ever seen in a car that age.

Need plenty of pics Trish :thumbup1:

Almost forgot!

 

 

The silver bonnet is surprisingly cool in person - goes very well with the chrome.

PS we were saying someone here night be interested in the plates :whistling:

Loving the Z's in the sun.

Thanks Jay. I passed the 7k mileage on that little trip this morning

Thats an awesome find Trish :thumbup1: Health to enjoy and hope you and Bill have many road trips in it.

Yes and all the paperwork that came with it, Order form, factory checklist, Bill of sale and receipt, brochure, 2 spare keys, all the mots up to 2015 verifying the mileage , the receipt for the full rustproofing at purchase inc drilling and wax oiling the sills, yes a nice find its not a 300zx but rather more sedate
