The Appeal

In typical Japanese fashion, the Nissan 300 ZX was leagues ahead of its Western competition. Not only did it look striking with streamlined bodywork and futuristic switchgear, it was also expertly engineered and beautifully put together, resulting in one of the most well-regarded sports cars of the late 20th century.

This 1990 example is especially noteworthy as it has had just one registered keeper from new - a friend of the vendor. Moreover, the car benefits from a lifetime of diligent maintenance as its comprehensive service history demonstrates. Even the original book pack, service book, number plates, dealer rear screen stickers, and sets of keys are present, which is almost unheard of with a 34-year-old car. We’re informed that is has always been garaged, ensuring that it remains in very good overall condition.

For those seeking a cherished example, this Nissan’s provenance is hard to beat.
