Designer of the S30 Datsun Z car has died.

This was reported last week.
The Datsun Z series of cars started in 1969 with the design from Yoshihiko Matsuo. The S30 series of cars was the best Z ever produced and took the market by storm. When it was released in the States it sold out in weeks and waiting lists were the norm if you wanted one. New cars were purchased from the waiting lists and they were onsold at a higher than list price, such was the demand at the time.

The S30 was not only the right car at the right time it had all the correct ingredients that were to make it a world leader of sports cars. These cars are now becoming extremely desirable.
