octet Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Hi guys, This is Adrian from London, United Kingdom. Been driving Nissans for many years now, 350z, 370z and now a GTR R35, but after helping my very good friend Darren restoring his here in UK, I fell in love with the Datsun 240z. So currently looking for one, I will post a Wanted post if I'm allowed. Any tips for finding one in a good condition / no rust / starting / driving / RHD please fire away. I know I'm looking for an unicorn, but I'm in no rush I want it as OEM as possible, not restored. Thanks! Adrian Quote
Sirpent Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Welcome Adrian I would suggest apart from this forum that you register with Australian and NZ online car sales sites etc and set up alerts to notify you when they come up which they do from time to time. Cheers John Quote
octet Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 Thanks a lot John, I will do that! Quote
Sirpent Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Thanks a lot John, I will do that! Your welcome Mate I'm sure if you find one, even though we hate seeing colony cars make their way back to the B*stards that sent us here, that members on the forum would be happy to do an inspection for you ;-) Quote
octet Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 Ha ha! I'm a bloody immigrant anyway, not born British, so fear not! Quote
dat2kman Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 The way the Pound is, you get a lot of Aussie car for your Quid! My rather enhanced 260Z would only set you back some 22,000 quid, plus shipping! Thers been a few bought here and taken to the UK. Something about our steering wheel is on the correct side! Quote
octet Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 Yes, the two reasons I'm looking to buy in Australia are: - sunny place - less rust hopefully - wheel on the right side - RHD 240z up to '72 preferred Thanks for the tips! Quote
