Make history

Datsun 240Z, year 1973. Chassis (VIN) number HLS30 – 168052, engine number L24-181795. Exterior colour orange 918 combined with a black interior and black GB-style alloy wheels. This magnificent and iconic Datsun 240Z was sold new in California USA, in 2016 the car was imported in the Netherlands. In the period 2017-2018 the car was extensively restored to top condition by a Datsun specialist. The rust-free Californian car was restored to original specifications. Costs nor effort were spared aiming for perfection. The bodywork was given a new paint system from the bare metal (all original panels and a perfect panel fit!) and it shows the factory original spot welds. Everything was restored and overhauled, an extensive photo report of the works is present, as is a file with restoration invoices. During the restoration a few upgrades were installed. A five-speed gearbox, three twin-choke Weber carburettors, power steering, period correct bucket seats, four-point safety harnesses and a sports exhaust were added to upgrade the driving experience. Furthermore, this magnificent machine features black alloy GB-style rimes shod with Vredestein 185/70 14-inch tyres. This Datsun 240Z is in a superb top condition, and the car drives and handles perfectly. The ‘straight-six’ exhaust note is magnificent! It will be very hard to find another Datsun 240Z in a TOP restored condition. This is the automotive icon from Japan, loved by many around the globe. A highly desirable classic car that can be yours.

The Datsun 240Z was presented in the year 1969. In Japan the car was sold under the name Fairlady Z. The beautiful lines were drawn by Graf Albrecht Goerz who was also responsible for the magnificent design of the BMW 507. With the Datsun 240Z the factory hit bulls eye, the car became the best sold sports car in the seventies of the twentieth century. The British sports car builders like MG and Triumph did not see the 'bomb' falling... They were blown away from the important US market by the successful 240Z. The Datsun 240Z was build with a unitary bodywork structure, independent suspension all round, and powered by a smooth and powerful six cylinder in-line engine. The 240Z proved to be very robust and capable and it was successful in the rally competition In 1973 the 240Z was succeeded by the 260Z which was given a 2.6 Litre engine.
