Thats always the risk with auctions. If you have a mediocre car, but there are a few buyers in the rook, the prices will rocket. You can have the best car but if the right buyers aren't in the room, you wont get your price.

Sorry, recycled the old advert. Changed to 3 owners now, lol.

Hi Guys This car may be coming up for sale again........ Collector is downsizing and selling off duplicates.

Spotted a red 260Z with gold Symmons wheels in MacArthur yesterday. Anyone on the group?

Sold!

You still interested Peter?

I've got a set of 15x7 ET 0 Koning's that I've just put up for sale with brand new 206/55/15 Goodyear's?

My Bad! Correct, they are 15x7J and the offset is 0. (I'll change the original post) The car could go a little lower with the 55 profile tyres as can be seen in the picture.

Hi Peter I'm not sure, I will see if they are marked on the rims and let you know. I bought them from a Z parts supplier in the USA, so they are the right offset for a Z if thats what you are looking to put it on.

I have a new set of 15x7J (ET 0) Konig Rotas that we imported for the Zim 240Z restoration. They have the center caps with Z logos, wheel nuts and are fitted with brand new Goodyear 205/55/15 tyres. They were fitted to the car and maybe driven a maximum of 30km as the car has been a show car. The new owner took them off to fit steel wheels and hubcaps for Motorclassica and has asked me to sell them on his behalf. They are with me in Canberra. Asking price is $1,500 ono. Photos attached.

Thanks John. The car was a UK delivered car, and the differences you noted were for the UK market. It was first registered in 1974 and thats where the confusion comes with the dates. To put the calibre of cars into perspective. The three finalists for "Restoration of the Year" were a Ferrari Dino, Mercedes 190SL and a Holden Monaro GTS. The Monaro won in the end. The standards of restorations and the size of chequebooks is really out of this world. I was speaking to one of the contestants, and his restoration alone cost $200k! Anyway, I am proud that the 240Z made it that far, and happy with the exposure.

Hi Guys, I've been offline for a few months - hectic schedule...... We got an email from Motorclassica organisers yesterday to invite the 240Z to be entered into the "Restoration of the Year" category. Fingers crossed! I'll be at the show for the duration, and mostly hovering between the 240Z and my Alpina. It would be great to meet any of you that might be coming to the show.

I've just heard some really great news. The collector that bought the Zim car from me entered it into Motorclassica this year. They inspected the car and have accepted his entry into the Concourse D Elegance for this year. That's quite an honour and I'm pretty chuffed with the news. To make matters even more exciting, my '74 BMW 2002tii Alpina tribute was invited to be part of the indoor display for the three days. That's a double whammy for me, and I'm over the moon!

Well, we are expecting in excess of 800 cars. Not all Italian stuff, but should be good nevertheless.

I have one set, not two. I'll check on the pricing today.

Thanks.

Does anyone have contact details for this mythical Zed creature? The link above doesn't seem to work.

Most parts are available, and more reasonably priced than the BMW parts I order for 2002's and E9's that I restore. I haven't come across something that I needed for the Z that wasn't available....yet.

I've got a brand new set that I won't be using

Would you please consider selling me the std steel rims off the one car?

Was waiting for payment to clear before I removed the advert. Now been removed.

No problem Chris, just leave your cheque when you leave hahaha

Thanks Gavin.

Hi Guys I've done a search on the forum, but haven't come up with anything. Does anyone have photos of where the body colour decal and the air filter decals go please? Just putting the finishing touches in place before the car is delivered. Cheers
