I can't confirm this either but I recall seeing a car that was (not sure if still is) owned by Harry Corbett I believe the chassis number was HS30 00004 and it was the first S30 / 240z to be shipped to Australia. The story goes that it was used by the Australian motoring press in the 70's.

 

So was HS30 00004 built before HLS30 00013?

 

I have photos of the car somewhere of the car. It had the unique fender mirrors (never seen these on another Z). It was in Zshop where I spoke with Lindsay Drife about it. At the time I recall rumours it sold for $35,000 AU or so, but this is all hearsay so take it with a grain of salt.

 

I have no idea where the car is now, but would love to see it again.

 

Photos of #4 was also used in the official Datsun press release kit that was issued to the press in September 1970 when the 240Z went on sale here.
