About this car
This 1972 Datsun 240Z is an early right-hand-drive UK-market car, and the dealer believes it was the first RHD 240Z supplied new to Britain. It acknowledges that a couple of Australian-market cars were registered earlier, but those were not UK-supplied. Chassis number HS30-00971.
The car is described as original and unmolested, with 12,322 miles recorded. It is finished in red with a black interior and has a five-speed manual gearbox and twin SU carburettors feeding the 2,393cc six. It sits on optional Wolfrace alloys, which were a popular period swap for the original steel wheels with hub caps. A stainless free-flow exhaust is fitted.
The history is distinctive. It was owned for many years by the president of the Z Owners Club, and its most recent keeper came from a well-known racing family with a large collection of exotic cars. Thoroughbred & Sports Car magazine featured this car in a buying guide. The dealer describes the paintwork, underside, engine bay and interior as close to perfect.
