An Auction of Classic and Performance Cars and Motorcycles
1990 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 2+2 Targa
One of the last examples registered in the UK
Registration - L75 PGW
Chassis No. - JN10RGZ32U0010940
M.O.T. - Exempt
Odometer - TBC
‘L75 PGW’ was first UK registered in May 1994, which makes it one of the last 300ZXs to be sold on these shores. It is a twin turbo model complete with rare all-wheel steering, and has remained within the care of an elderly enthusiast for the last 16 years, who’s only driven the Nissan in the summer months and always garaged it between drives. Its high specification includes removable Targa roof complete with its original storage bags, electrically heated seats trimmed in full black leather, and cruise control. The vendor has recently invested £2,000 in refurbishing the brake calipers and installing new high performance discs and pads. He has also had the alloy wheels professionally overhauled and re-powder coated. He 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 Kenwood sound system, tool kit, Benkson replacement electric radio aerial and a current MOT valid to May 31. The odometer currently registers 107,000 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:
- One of the last examples registered in the UK
- Features twin-turbo engine and all-wheel steering
- Has remained in the current ownership for the last 16 years
