AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

General

Very neat and rare Nissan 280 ZX 2.8 2-seater from 1980, in restored condition and fully documented. A true classic with character, performance, and comfort. The car was originally delivered in the United States and was professionally imported to the Netherlands in 2018. Since then, it has been maintained with care and attention. This is not a rushed project, but a well-preserved coupe that retains its originality and has improved reliability. The classic white paint combined with the red interior creates a beautiful snapshot of the 1980s. The car is equipped with a new MOT valid until July 2027 and is ready to drive immediately.

Bodywork & Paint Shop

The Nissan is in very neat, restored condition. The exterior is sleek and well-maintained, with a beautiful white paint that complements the character of the car. The bodywork appears correct and well-kept, preserving original details. The combination with the red interior makes this a particularly stylish and unique appearance.

Technical

Under the long hood lies the well-known 2.8-liter six-cylinder inline engine with a power of 132 hp. The engine runs smoothly and powerfully and is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. Thanks to the rear-wheel drive and the low center of gravity, the car still offers a sporty and enjoyable driving experience. The car is well maintained and in good technical condition. There is no overdue maintenance, and the car drives as it should. A recent appraisal report from July 9, 2025, provides a very good assessment of the technical and overall condition.

INTERIOR:

The interior is in very good condition and is finished in red, which perfectly matches the era of the car. The upholstery is half leather and well maintained. The interior offers a comfortable driving experience and is equipped with features such as air conditioning, cruise control, and original details like the dashboard and control elements. Everything is complete and correctly executed, as expected for a well-preserved 280 ZX.

Documents

The complete documentation is available, including maintenance history and original booklets. The car has three keys, and the original VIN is still present on the dashboard. Additionally, a recent appraisal report is available with a very positive assessment.

AFHALING

The car is immediately available and can be viewed and picked up by appointment. Thanks to the new APK valid until July 2027, you can get in and drive right away.

Other Information

This Nissan 280 ZX is not an ordinary classic, but a carefully maintained and beloved car. A value-retaining investment and at the same time a pleasure to drive. Very suitable for enthusiasts or collectors looking for an original, well-documented, and ready-to-drive classic.

However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road.

Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration.
