Is the mileage quite low/relatively low? Those wheels are quite a popular choice in the UK lately too. Currently sitting on 36,600kms, so yeah, quite low. It's immaculate and I intend on keeping it that way!BRONZEE wrote:Your 350 looks very tidy.
Yep, first Z. I've always wanted a 240z and frequently keep a look out for them. Unfortunately these days they're either few and far between, unjustifiably expensive or rusted to bitsBRONZEE wrote: Is this your first Z??

Thanks mate. I think they're a big improvement over the stock 17" wheels:ZILVER wrote:I agree those wheels set it off perfectly
Your photography is nice too - so hope to see a photoshoot of her against some beautiful New Zealand scenery, or posing with other Zed owners/@ a meet Very Happy
Hah, I never noticed that until now. Lucky meBRONZEE wrote:You're quite lucky, being a JDM you've not got the nasty licence plate surround that the NZ new ones do in the back, that move. Nice and clean look.
I wouldnt call them unjustifiably expensive - any fully restored 240Z or 260Z would have had alot of money spent on it. Just the upkeep on one would be enough to make someone used to newer cars eyes water. But anyway that is a very tidy Z you have thereYep, first Z.

Hey thanks, I wouldn't call myself a photographer, but I do try and get the best shots possible with my point-n-shoot camera.Andy wrote:I reckon excellent photography, very sharp, car almost looks animated in those birdseye shots.Your photography is nice too
I guess I'm just comparing them to the prices that they used to be selling for about 10 years ago (albeit, stupidly). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I could've sworn that 240/260zs were selling for half, or a third of the price back then.I wouldnt call them unjustifiably expensive - any fully restored 240Z or 260Z would have had alot of money spent on it.

I'll get my 240z one day Same with any classic, Jap or otherwise, they tend to appreciate with age and scarcity. If you look at the like of Gaijin's car on here, and many others, when you see the level of restoration projects (the months of work), it's very extensive and not cheap.schift wrote:I guess I'm just comparing them to the prices that they used to be selling for about 10 years ago (albeit, stupidly).

Don't get me wrong - I can appreciate the amount of work and money gone into restoring one of these things, but whenever I consider buying one the logic in the back of my head keeps saying "Why the hell would you spend tens of thousands of dollars on an almost 40 year old car?!". But buying sports cars isn't always logical, is it?
But they look absolutely magic when finished.
