So When Should We Celebrate The 50Th Anniversary Of The 240Z Here In Oz

[24 Dat]

Just as the topic says i am just interested in what the vote would be.

 

My own opinion is 2020, even though i know the 240Z was first released in Japan in October 1969, but only a few cars made it to the USA that year, here we didn't see any 240Z's until 1970, and all but 1 subsequent anniversary cars that have been released by Datsun/Nissan have celebrated as if the original release was in 1970

 

1980 10th anniversary 280ZX 

1984 15th anniversary 300ZX Z31

1995 25th anniversary 300ZX Z32

2005 35th anniversary 350Z

2010 40th anniversary 370Z

I agree with your logic that it should be 2020 (insert 20/20 vision gag here).

2020 makes sense.

When were they first sold, to the public?

Dont get concerned as to the pedantics of where.

1969 was shown at Tokyo motor show - and I believe just a few sold in that year. but really early 1970 is when most took delivery.
