Sounds nice just like a Beachcraft Barron, one of the best sounding piston engines.

Some good detail stills in this video of TKS33 SA 1223

I have seen a few other videos and articles about this car. Shame they just talk shit and don't seem to understand the rally much but it's a good basis for a reliable endurance rally car. 5 240's entered in the event, I think.

I don't understand any of the commentary but it's a nice car.

I think they are mostly talking about how big that blokes beard is.

But, as you say nice looking car too.

[gav240z]

It is an awesome beard, and the colour actually looks ok too! Even though I can't stand brown, I could live with that. Shame no drive video.

Rough as guts, I can't talk however I was gonna rat mine out...

There is a poor excuse of a drive video....

I'm going stand up and say I absolutely hate that car. To me building a car like that shows your lack of skill, patience, dedication, pride and workmanship. You don't have the skill to build it right so you make a "Rat Rod"  Its built for facebook likes.

I also have the feeling he has had less input on that car than he leads us to believe. Matt is asking him if it has power brakes and his face kinda hazes over and mumbles 'sometimes',  Look i like the engine swap, but at the end of the day the car is still a POS that is still rotting away every day.

 

See I like Charlie's zed.  It has had all aspects of the car done, has been restored, shows the quality and skills of the craftsman, and has a bad ass engine and power combo to boot.

 

That's just me, I like nice things. And i appreciate a car when i see the time, effort, man hours and skill that goes into restoring it back to new condition. Building it right.

Meh

Looks like the French School kids think it's an Italian car.

I posted it, but it doesn't mean I like it.

That is a good beard.

I cannot help but draw a link between the video and the shoot location outside the Jules Verne Museum!

Love the sound of this thing.

Big screen and sound up!!

Lots of good old Australian know how gone into this car by Les and the boys at LCR.

Ohhhh! Jay has finally put them up!

The dark grey GT2 has nearly 580hp, while the white GT3 is factory @ 475hp.
Makes for an interesting comparison...

A couple of videos were posted yesterday by a visitor to the Nissan Heritage Colection in Zama Japan.

It's a place worth visiting. They have posed a few videos of the collection but these two are concentrating on the 240z rally cars.

The boys really did give these cars a hard time in the day. A bit scary when you compare the safety equipment in these cars to the modern day rally car and the fact that these cars were generally capable of higher top speeds than the current day cars!! And they regularly wore in shorts and t shirts.
