1978 | Datsun 260 Z

We are very proud here at CMC to offer an extremely original, low mileage example of an original UK RHD 1978 example of the Datsun 260Z.

With only 34157 original miles, in striking Grand Prix Red, this now rare example of the model is accompanied by its original tool rolls, jack and even wheel chocks.

There is also a set of period Enkie wheels which are available by separate negotiation. The car has an extensive history file, that includes an early sales invoice, handbooks, sales literature, 34 tax discs and a copy of Classics magazine issue 75 which this actual Z was featured.

With an eye on long term preservation the first owner treated this beauty to Z Bar anti-corrosion, meaning today, 46 years later, this iconic, market-changing example of Japanese sports styling and manufacturing can be enjoyed as it came of the production like and for many years to come.

Total UK sales of the 260Z (1974 to 1979) were just 2645, of which 899 were the more attractive, sporty 2 seater derivative, like this example, the remainder being 2+2’s.

1978 UK sales of the 2 seater were approx. only 325, making this care a rare example by any standard.

With prices in the US of similar quality 240Z making $300’000.00, the 260Z will only continue to grow.

Definitely one for the collector.
