hope this is not rose tinted speckles, but lusted after on of these for years.
UK car, completely rebuilt 4 years ago.

Have you bought that?
If you have, congratulations!
I have fond memories of getting collected from school in a yellow 260Z that my dad had a loan of for a while. Felt like a superstar

Lovely car, the inspiration for the 350z.
Is that a paper storage facility in the background?!

That takes me back too.
Got a lift from somebody (can't remember who) in a very early 240Z, i must have been about 13?
Is it a 240 or a 260?
Looks like period Wolfrace wheels too?

Humbled thanks, can't wait to drive it!
It's a 1973 240z, almost totally stock. Was completely bare shell rebuilt in 2013-14.
Has a tubular manifold, period janspeed exhaust, electronic ignition and otherwise everything as is.

That looks lush,
Good that it was a complete bareshell build as eradicating rust is a major pain in a classic and can completely empty your wallet very easily.

Amazing. Always loved the lines of the 240. Pure classic loveliness

Really fancied a 240Z in the late 70's, had to settle for a Triumph GT6. Definitely a poor mans alternative.
Looks great in Red
