For sale: Datsun 240Z, in the Netherlands since 2004. The smooth-running 6-cylinder petrol engine is fed by three Weber carburettors and drives the rear wheels via a 4-speed gearbox. The car has been well maintained and both the interior and exterior are in a very fine, well-looked-after condition. The previous owner fitted the 240Z with a Tripmaster for rally-style drives. The Datsun name became internationally renowned thanks to the Z-series sports cars. The launch of the 240Z in 1969 was therefore an immediate and incredible sales success, putting Datsun on the world map as a sports car manufacturer. It was at the Tokyo Motor Show that the Datsun 240Z was first unveiled to the public. A beautifully contoured, sleek two-seater with a long, low bonnet, and a 2,400cc inline six-cylinder engine. In Europe, the first 240Z was unveiled at the Brussels Motor Show on 24 January 1970. Nissan brought in the German Albrecht Goertz for their new project, owing to his understanding of American tastes and his skills as a designer. Together with Nissan’s designers, Goertz developed a hardtop coupé with two seats that were more spacious than the average Japanese model. The concept was based on cars of that era: the Porsche 911 and the Jaguar E-Type. The design was completed by the end of 1964 and featured spoked wheels and pop-up headlights. The prototype was built by Yamaha, with whom Nissan had an agreement to fit the newly designed Yamaha 2.0-litre engine with twin camshafts. Due to technical problems with the engine, Nissan abandoned this idea. It seems that Yamaha took the idea to Toyota, where it was further developed into the 2000GT, which, interestingly enough, had the same spoked wheels and pop-up headlights. A sort of half-brother, then.
