Datsun 260z

The 1977 Datsun 260Z forms part of the well regarded S30-series, produced between 1974 and 1978 and is appreciated today for its straight-six performance and balanced handling, with strong support from an active enthusiast base First registered in Jersey in 1977, I have owned this car for the past 15 years, having been purchased from a family in London. Originally purchased as the base for a Ferrari 250 GTO-style recreation, however, the decision was taken to keep the car to its original specification due to its condition and it remains unmodified today. Finished in Ford Radiant Red after a full acid-dip restoration by a father and son team in the early 2000s complemented by chrome bumpers and door trims The interior remains in original condition and is fitted with a Clifford alarm and CD radio with electric aerial Powered by its original 2.6-litre engine, now uprated with a mild camshaft, 2" SU carburettors, a performance manifold and exhaust system, the car also benefits from lowered suspension, front and rear strut braces, a four-pot caliper and vented disc brake conversion, and Xenon 5000K HID headlamps A well maintained and sensibly enhanced example of the 260Z, well preserved and ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian.
