Yes the car is stunning. It is at the top end of what Z's go for but

they don't come much better.

Thanks to Mark for putting together such a great car,  I had originally considered turning one of my 240's into a track car but came to my senses after doing the maths and this car came on the market just at the right time.

Initially I will be competing in NSW and Qld hill climbs and sprints in it and hopefully long term, when finances and time allows, some targa events.  The car is set up for Targa at the moment and after competing in a few local hill climbs recently I have chosen to do a few set up changes to the suspension to suit.      I will probably be a bit more relaxed racing her once the first scratch has happened!

Thanks to all of the forum contributors on this site,  such a great collection of knowledge to refer to when looking at building up a Z car. Cheers.
