Description
Incredibly low mileage original RHD UK supplied Datsun 240Z (HS30) and the ultimate collector example. Amazingly it had just one owner from new until 2019 and has unrivalled provenance and history from new.
This is an original car and has never needed to be or been restored, pretty much unique for a UK supplied 240Z. It was recently painted for the first time since new (only due to old coachlines and protective underseal painted on the lower areas in the late 1970's that could not be removed with chemicals). The ground metal was found to be in almost perfect condition underneath aside from a couple of very minor repairs required to the rear arch lips and the original spot welds are still visible in this area to evidence the minimal work carried out.
Garaged from new, the unbelievable low mileage of just 24, 000 is fully documented with much service history available together with many old MOT's and tax discs.
Mechanically the car runs the original stock standard L24 6 cylinder engine with twin Hitachi/ SU carbs which gave 150bhp and a 0-60 time of 8 secs which was very quick for a regular production car back in 1970. The engine feels and sounds super sweet, evidence of the incredibly low mileage. Ride height and suspension is as it left the factory and it runs on period 14 inch Wolfrace alloys that were dealer supplied on request when new. The original steels are supplied with the car. Tyres are brand new all round.
The interior is untouched and in fantastic original unrestored condition. A Stainless Steel upgraded exhaust has been fitted by marque specialists Fourways Engineering who looked after the car in recent years.
This car should appeal to the discerning collector and really is a one off opportunity. You simply won't find another 54 year old UK supplied Datsun 240Z for sale with this level of originality, history and provenance. This two owner car is quite probably the finest original surviving example left in the country.
