ARPUS Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Greg--- My 240Z was a UK car and only 1,500 were ever imported. Fewer than 100 are now registered. There are 2 owner's clubs -- The Classic Z Register ( S30.org ) and The Z Club. Also try Z specialist - Duncan Piercey at The Z Farm.

Sheefa Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Updated with full list of modifications and installation date. Note this is not an exhaustive lists and doesn't include Labour costs and various other parts. Easily £16k spent I would say in 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Updated with full list of modifications and installation date. Did you ever share that with your wife? its a big service bill even before the labour is thrown in. As a side interest how does insurance fare on this relative to say a run of the mill TT?

Sheefa Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Of course I didn't..... Insurance per year at agreed value costs me £600 all mods declared and 3,000 limited miles with Adrian Flux. Probably only £100 more than a TT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Argh you have me wondering now. was it originally a UK TT6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Haha thanks Pete. Yes Baz it was of course an original UK TT Manual. They only made UK TT's in manual and auto not NA's from memory. People will have different opinions about whether this is a UK car or not given extensive modifications but I'll explain it quite simply: 1) It is a UK manufactured and V5 UK registered vehicle with all supporting documentation and a full UK history. 2) It has a UK chassis and VIN plate and is practically OEM from the exterior. 3) The main modifications are mechanical and you could return to stock if you really wanted but God knows why you would after having so much spent on an excellent single setup. This is a clean and very well cared for UK car and I spent a long time looking for it. Cheers Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thanks Greg, The Q was to check it was an original manual and not an auto conversion as that does affect the potential historical value, considerably. I'm going to muse a little about my ideal for a second Supra choice as my preference, as you are aware, is very much for stock so a single would be a total diversion for me. But I do have a stock example already and buying a spare 2JZ-GTE engine would be a sensible investment as well as either a spare unit or to have an option to return a modified car to stock when the values veer that way to make a retro conversion a sound economic choice.
