Description
Designed by Kazumasu Takagi, this is the 3rd generation of the popular “Z” cars, begun with the 240Z. The Z31 300ZX featured improved aerodynamics and increased power when compared to the 280ZX. The new, streamlined body had a drag coefficient of 0. 30 and the car was powered by Japan’s first mass-produced V6 engine instead of an inline 6 that was typically used.
This car is a later “phase 2” version of the Z31, referred to as the “Kouki”. It features flared wheel arches, colour coded plastic trim including side skirts, more aerodynamic bumpers, rear lights running the entire width of the car and redesigned headlights, all of which contributed to a smoother and wider look, over the earlier “phase 1” car .
The car has benefitted from a recent and sympathetic cosmetic renovation, which included a “windows out” respray, professionally refurbished wheels and new tyres to all driven wheels. In addition, as part of the mechanical recommissioning, the car was given a full service and the cam belt and water pump changed. MOT until January 2023.
For those looking for a lovely example of a usable classic Japanese sportscar, then with its white colour coded paintwork, side skirts, removable targa-tops, pop-up headlights and pinstripe velour interior, few cars come more 80s than this!

Please note, that the car has been previously listed as a Category D insurance loss (uneconomical to repair), but that was nearly 21 years ago, in December 2000.
