1971 Datsun 240Z

This car:

First registered on the 1st November 1971, and delivered as a 240Z.
Throughout it’s life it has been completely transformed into an incredibly capable historic rally car.
Fully rebodied with a Californian 260Z shell in 2010 – renowned for being much stronger than the 240Z.
Full engine rebuild in 2019, along with a full electrical re-wire.
Rolling road figures following the engine rebuild came out as 179 bhp and 172 lbft torque @ 5500 rpm.
From 2019 when major works had been completed until present day the car has consistently been maintained to a very high standard.
Ahead of coming to us for sale, the current owner gave the car a major and comprehensive service, and as a result, the car passed our inspection with flying colours.
What we have here then, is an incredibly competent and popular historic rally car, and very much ready to embark on its next adventure.
Below we have listed the detailed break down of the build specification, and also some of the events it’s competed on.
A stand out point for us in particular was the 2022 Lima to Cape Horn, where the car achieved an impressive 2nd overall finish. Made even sweeter by beating a field of Tuthill prepared Porsche 911s!
As ever, if you would to arrange to come and see the car, please do not hesitate to book an appointment!
