This particularly attractive and beautifully presented Left hand drive, manual, Datsun 280Z is finished in its original and desirable Blue Metallic paintwork complemented by a cream leather interior. Originally supplied by Anaheim Datsun of California, the car was delivered new to its first owner, Mr R. B. Mart, on 21st September 1977. It remained with the original family until being sourced from California and subsequently imported into the UK. Imported in 2018 the Datsun was UK registered by the importer and was soon sold to its most recent private keeper and avid collector who set about an extensive restoration of the through Datsun specialists, the Z Farm. An extensive restoration was undertaken which included a bare metal respray in its original colour, an extensive engine and gearbox rebuild, and the interior retrimmed to original specifications. Today, the car presents in exceptional condition throughout with no real blemishes to note. The Blue Metallic coachwork is beautifully finished, complemented by an immaculate cream leather interior. The engine bay, wheels and underside are equally impressive, with the overall presentation reflecting the care and attention invested in its restoration.
Having covered a mere 500 miles since completion, it has been dry stored as part of a significant collection and is now ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian. Accompanying the car is a history file, including its original Datsun warranty and service book, confirming its original supplying dealer and first owner, together with the original Datsun maintenance manual. Also included is a restoration summary from The Z Farm confirming circa £20, 000 was spent during restoration, photographic records of the bare metal respray, old Mot records and a current Mot test certificate with no advisories, valid until June 2027. An exceptionally well presented and extensively restored example ready to be enjoyed.
