The Appeal

Launched in 1969 to take on the likes of the Porsche 911 and Jaguar E-Type at a fraction of the cost, the Datsun 240Z combined sleek, purposeful styling with a willing inline-six engine and quickly became one of the most successful sports cars of its era. Today, the S30-generation Z is highly coveted by collectors and enthusiasts alike, and good examples are increasingly difficult to find.

This 1972 example is a matching-numbers car, lending it considerable appeal to the discerning buyer. Under the long bonnet sits the 2.4-litre ‘L24’ straight-six fed by twin Hitachi SU-type carburettors, producing approximately 151hp and 146lb-ft of torque, paired with a manual gearbox. The car has been repainted in a striking yellow that the vendor states suits the era well, contrasting with the black interior, sporty black bumpers, and black grille. Inside, a racing-style steering wheel and centre armrest complement the cabin, which the vendor describes as retaining an authentic feel.

This 240Z has already been imported into the Netherlands with EU VAT and import duties paid. It comes with both a U.S. title and European import documents, and the seller is able to assist with worldwide transport and shipping. With two keys included and 57,614 miles showing on the odometer, this is a noteworthy prospect for anyone seeking a matching-numbers S30.
