These are a license to print money over here these early one's Gary, asbojohn has a beauty in metallic green worth a fortune and immense fun.. If I recall correctly he got it around 5 years ago and got it done properly and it's a beauty.

Good performance and engineering with parts available. Well done that man BaT Datsun Sales history

Wow that is serious money, I never realised they were so much in demand. I guess for a great looking car which is so much better built than some of its contemporary rivals its understandable.

I had a 74 260Z which I bought new and owned for 10 years. It was metallic green with tan interior and I loved it more than my then wife, lol. I can’t be sure but it probably handled pretty much the same as a 240. By todays standards it’s rubbish, but compared to the British competition at the time it was a dream sports car. I miss it and it will always hold a special place in my memories.

The Nissan restoration cars are highly sought after and hence the price. Mine is a 1973, Rich I'd love it to be worth a fortune but its a strange market with the prices always being talked down by those that own the cars. It doesn't seem like 5 years but it's probably getting on for that. I keep thinking of selling it as I don't use it much but then got out for a run in it and change my mind. Here are some pictures ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2017/09/21/240z-1-2.md.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2017/09/21/240z-1-6.md.jpg)

Thanks for refreshing the memory Asbo with your car, it just seemed a long time ago now and I have started to think in 5 year chunks now.. There is a similar one for sale at £31 big one's on C & C..
