Description
THIS CAR
- First registered on the 1st November 1971, and delivered as a 240Z.
- Throughout it's life it has been completely transformed into an incredibly capable historic rally car.
- Fully rebodied with a Californian 260Z shell in 2010 - renowned for being much stronger than the 240Z.
- Full engine rebuild in 2019, along with a full electrical re-wire.
- Rolling road figures following the engine rebuild came out as 179 bhp and 172 lbft torque @ 5500 rpm.
- From 2019 when major works had been completed until present day the car has consistently been maintained to a very high standard.
- Ahead of coming to us for sale, the current owner gave the car a major and comprehensive service, and as a result, the car passed our inspection with flying colours.
- What we have here then, is an incredibly competent and popular historic rally car, and very much ready to embark on its next adventure.
- Below we have listed the detailed break down of the build specification, and also some of the events it's competed on.
- A stand out point for us in particular was the 2022 Lima to Cape Horn, where the car achieved an impressive 2nd overall finish. Made even sweeter by beating a field of Tuthill prepared Porsche 911s!
- As ever, if you would to arrange to come and see the car, please do not hesitate to book an appointment!
