    My highly original matching numbers 1973 240Z has been listed on EBay.  (Item ID: 401656167178)  It was presented on this site in mid 2016 - at the time it was an all original  -  one owner who had done only 32,000 miles- she had bought it in 1973, and on her  passing away  I had purchased it from her family in mid 2016  -it was  totally original.  Over the last 2 years it has had restoration of just about everything - details are on EBay.  It is now both a classic or a daily driver, and has now done approximately 34000 miles.  Starting bid is 56000 which is many 1000's below what has been spent. Brian Smith

    Bay Item number:401672674116
    Highly original, matching numbers, outstanding condition inside and out.  Original lady owner purchased this car new in 1973 - I purchased it from her family -in  Mt Evelyn, Vic,  just over 2 years ago after her passing.  Only 32000 miles travelled then, when featured on the VicZ website mid 2016.   34152 miles (54962km) now –otherwise always  garaged.   Since 2016, it has undergone comprehensive restoration  -  mostly down to bare metal with excellent respray in original Datsun '110' red- interior and engine bay were already excellent (Browne Auto Restorations),  steering restored: ball joints, tie rod ends, bushes, struts etc to as new, by Regal Wheel Alignment, carburettor overhaul (see pic)  and dynotune (Pavlou Motors), 5 new 195/70R14 Dunlop SP Sport tyres ,  rechromed rear bumper bar, extensive new rubbers all round, full set of new carpets etc, etc.   A few small modern concessions:   electronic ignition kit, ignition coil black,  and new battery, better fuel pump, new filter,  and inertia reel seatbelts - so this car can be a daily driver or a collectible classic.  New leather seat covers  will go with the car  but not yet installed.  Original seat covers  are still in exceptionally good condition too.  Dash is near perfect apart from one tiny hairline split. Console is good apart from a couple of small cracks.   Rear louvres were a garage find and are now as new after a respray.  1973 Service Manual.  Currently on SA Historic Motor Vehicle Registration.  Receipts available.  Selling well below many thousands below what  I've spent on it.  Buy now is $57000

    Thanks Jeff. The more on the road the better!
    From the above invaluable report and photos, and then going over to have a look and a drive with the helpful owner, seems to just require a few  touch ups.
    BCS paints have a match for 110 Datsun paint - I'll need some for the  bare metal  spots on the left guard (they are about 5-6mm).  Also need to find a solution to the rust on the rear bumper, which seems fairly superficial, and there is also a small patch of superficial rust below where the battery sits, which  I'll brush back.
    Otherwise  front bumper over-riders (or 'bumperettes') and sourcing an air conditioner, if feasible, would be good - I don't need to tell you how hot  it can get here!!
    That's it as far as I know ...
    Then SA Datsun Day in October...?
