AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
General:
In the late 1960s, Nissan set out with a clear mission: to build a sports car capable of competing with elegant European models, but without the high price tag and notorious reliability quirks. The result was the legendary Datsun 240Z, introduced in 1969—a car that proved Japan had arrived in the global sports car market.
By the mid-1970s, the landscape had changed. Stricter emissions regulations and increasing demand for comfort led to the evolution of the Z-series. In 1975, the Datsun 280Z was introduced, maintaining the sporty DNA of its predecessor while adding refinement and usability.
Under the hood, the 280Z features a robust 2.8-liter inline-six engine with fuel injection, delivering smoother performance and improved reliability. The driving experience strikes an excellent balance between sportiness and comfort, making it equally enjoyable on winding roads and longer journeys.
The iconic characteristics remain: rear-wheel drive, a well-balanced chassis, and the timeless design with a long hood and short rear deck.
This particular example is finished in an attractive Sky Blue color and has been well maintained from a technical standpoint. Major maintenance was carried out in 2019 and 2023 by a specialist in Germany. The car is ready to drive and enjoy.
Condition of the Vehicle:
Bodywork and Paint:
The body is in good overall condition, with some minor cosmetic imperfections consistent with its age, such as light scratches and small paint flaws.
Rubber seals, windows, chrome elements, and lighting are in proper condition.
Any previous welding work has been carried out; however, there may still be minor areas that could benefit from attention.
Technical:
The car is in good running and driving condition.
Engine and gearbox perform as expected, with smooth operation.
Brakes, suspension, and clutch function properly.
Maintenance history includes major services in 2019 and 2023.
The vehicle starts well, both cold and warm, and drives steadily.
Interior:
The interior is well-kept with normal signs of use.
Upholstery, dashboard, and door panels present nicely.
Most components appear to be original.
Electrical systems such as gauges, switches, and ventilation are functioning correctly.
Documentation:
Registration documents present
Maintenance invoices available (including 2019 and 2023)
