This Datsun 240Z is an engaging classic Japanese coupe, offered for sale from long-term ownership, during which it has been used for classic regularity rallies. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 2.4-litre inline-six, fed by twin carburettors, and sending power to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The car has now been with the seller for an impressive 11 years. The odometer indicates 95,167 miles, though this is not warranted. This 240Z was originally painted in silver, which is still visible in the engine bay and under the interior carpets, and it has since been painted in British Racing Green, with white roundels containing the number eight on the doors and bonnet, over a black vinyl-trimmed interior. It rides on an aftermarket set of 16-inch Performance Superlite wheels, fitted with Continental tyres on the front axle, and Yokohama tyres on the rear axle. Equipment includes a wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel, a Jeco analogue clock, heating and ventilation controls, sun visors, manual windows, and folding rear seats. This example has been upgraded with an oil catch can, a dashboard mounted oil temperature gauge with a metal diamond plate surround, an aftermarket gear knob, a cut-off switch, Roadmaster speakers, a driver’s heel plate, and the larger Performance Superlite alloy wheels. The car comes with some maintenance documents, a small selection of images, a dynamometer power readout, and two keys. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: there are various blemishes on the paintwork. Inside, the driver’s seat trim is very worn, and the dashboard top is cracked. The car’s last inspection of roadworthiness was conducted in July 2024, during which the seller reports that no warnings or advisory items were noted. This 240Z’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in March 2024 at around an indicated 95,000 km by the current owner. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change, along with removal of the head, and replacement of the head gasket, seals, hoses and thermostat. The seller notes that during ownership the fuel rail was updated, the carburettors tuned, and various preventative maintenance was performed by Stewart Wilkins Motorsport. The seller notes the car was serviced with oil changes annually during ownership. This Datsun 240Z is an attractive classic Japanese coupe, offered for sale by its long-term owner of 11 years, who has used it to compete in classic regularity rallies. Now presented with an attractive British Racing Green colour scheme, sharp styling, and a smooth inline-six engine coupled to an engaging five-speed manual gearbox, it would make a fine addition to any assembly of classics, which could continue to be used as it is, or could also make a great candidate for restoration back to a high standard, and its original specification.
