Hello there

Always an admirer since I got to read about the downfall of my childhood dream, the E-type as a kid.

Reignited interest since moving down under from Blighty which is one day going to see me land a Zed.

Top site and as has been mentioned, super friendly.

Loving the Zeds, I see two 240's on Lygon Street here in Melbourne regularly (met blue & yellow) which always get me drooling.

Two on ebay today stirring my interest. Practical Worzel says 260 2+2 auto (guidance on their reliability appreciated), impetuous Worzel head say 240.

Cheers

Hello!
Two ways, get whatever takes your fancy, be prepared to be a little bit exasperated in its restoration/rebuild etc,,, or,, wait a bit, take your time, save a few dollars while doing so, and get a very good one, then make it the way ypu want it.
Either  way, you'll be sure to enjoy

Welcome dapper, I have both cars, the 240z  5 speed is by far the fun car of the two,and is the more collectable hence you will pay a lot more for one, The 2+2 auto was a nice car to drive, but my wife found it too hard in the steering compared to the 240z, both cars I had no problems with mechanically and I am a hard driver as the wife keeps telling me you are not on a race track, the down side to both cars and why they are not driven now is rust and both cars were bogged up over rust.
