A low mileage and very rarely seen example of the 300ZX V6 Convertible
In the same enthusiastic ownership since 2012 and lightly used
Complete with the much rarer and more luxurious leather upholstery
The Appeal
The first Nissan Fairlady 300ZX (Fairlady being the name the Z cars were marketed under in Japan) was launched in 1983 to replace the 280ZX and boasted the first production use of a V6 engine in the Japanese motor industry. The second generation of 300ZX came along in 1986 in this car’s Z32 guise. It was a more rounded and attractive looking package that retained the bullet proof V6 engine of its predecessor. It wasn’t until 1992 that an official 300ZX two-seater convertible came along, partly in answer to the many after-market conversions that were being undertaken.
This fine example hails from the first year of 300ZX Convertible production and is a mighty rare sight on UK roads as it was never officially imported. This one presents in a great colourway and has a pristine, leather clad cabin. The car has been fastidiously maintained and is ready to drive away and enjoy this summer.
When you see a 300ZX convertible in the metal, and that won’t be very often, it is a surprisingly head turning car. It’s not just that rarity that gives it its allure but also its period appropriate wedge shape and charming details. It sounds good, too, with that big V6 grumbling through the quad tailpipes. With the JDM scene currently so popular in this country, these are cars that are only likely to rapidly appreciate and become increasingly sought after.
This example is in a fine and original condition. The paintwork and bodywork is in amazing shape for a 31 year old car and the anthracite coloured wheels contrast with the livery very well. The cabin is in a very fresh condition with lots of period charm also present. With its diligent maintenance and low, original mileage this is clearly a car that is going to keep heads turning for many more years to come.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
C&C prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3-minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours. You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you’re able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
