The Bolesworth Castle March 2024 Classic & Performance Car Auction
1991 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo
***NO RESERVE*** UK car and the same owner for the last 24 years
Registration - NIL 2909
Chassis No. - JN10RGZ32U0001924
M.O.T. - July 2024
Odometer - 120,887
‘NIL 2909’ was first UK registered in May 1991. This rare UK car is a twin turbo model complete with all-wheel steering and has remained within the care of a mature enthusiast for almost 25 years, who’s only driven the Nissan in the summer months and always garaged it between drives. The high specification includes removable Targa roof complete with original storage bags, electrically controlled driver’s seat trimmed in full black leather, and cruise control. The car comes with extensive history file including service maintenance record and original backpack. The current owner now classes the V6 engine and four-speed automatic gearbox as ‘excellent’, and the 2+2 bodywork, white paintwork and black interior trim as ‘good’. He is now offering this rare Z Car complete with jack and tools, and a current MOT valid to July 14. The odometer currently registers 121,256 miles.
Nissan’s much vaunted 300ZX was built on the reputation created by the previous ‘Z Cars’ that began with the 240Z back in 1969 and progressed through the 260Z and 280Z, all of which were marketed under the ‘Fairlady’ brand in their home market. The first generation Z31 300ZXs produced from 1983 to 1989 were available with no less than five engine packages and manual or automatic transmission. The Z32 model that replaced it in 1989 was an all-new design with rounder profile and fewer hard edges. It was powered by basically the same V6 engine that now sported a pair of overhead camshafts and variable valve timing. It was offered in normally aspirated form or with a pair of Garrett turbochargers, in which case there was up to 300bhp with which to play. Some 164,170 examples had been produced by the time the model was supplanted by the radically different front mid-engined 350Z (Z33).
In summary:
- Rare UK-supplied car
- Features twin-turbo engine and all-wheel steering
- Has remained in the current enthusiast ownership for over 24 years
