The Appeal

Nissan’s ‘Z’ cars have long been a discerning choice for those seeking a supremely capable sports car.

The 350Z was particularly accomplished - as anyone who’s ever driven one will attest to. Most 21st-century sports cars are front-wheel-drive and turbocharged - which is all very well. But there’s something rather refreshing and pure about the way a car like the 350Z goes down the road with its powerful NA V6 and old-school rear-wheel-drive handling.

This 2004 manual example was supplied new to the UK in right-hand drive and has remained here ever since. The vendor is emigrating, however, so reluctantly, it’s time to find their beloved Nissan a new custodian. It’s been tastefully modified with an uprated air intake and exhaust which ensure that big V6 breathes easily to maximise performance. It recently passed an MOT test in readiness for the new keeper while the car’s service history is quite comprehensive for its age.

If you’re looking for a 350Z that’s ready to enjoy or become the basis for further improvements or modifications, this would be an excellent candidate.
