Someone's probably asked this before, but....

Someone posted an old 240Z Sports advertisment on this site. Is a "Sports" a special package, or is it a another name for a regular 240Z?

To my knowledge there was no "Sports" package and the term Sports is just a term refering to sports car. To add even more speculation I believe the S in S30 means that it is a Sports Car chassis. The Datsun 510 is actually a P510 and I believe the P stands for Passenger. The Datsun 620 pick up had no identifier in front of 620 to my knowledge so makes you wonder on that though. Again this is all just speculation.

I think Nate is right, The Datsun Roadsters also had the sports designation-but no package specifics!

C110

"C" for COOL!!!

all in favor for C110, C for Cool?

Aye

Rock on:beard:

Nate

Just no one suggest the obvious OTHER word for "C" :finger:

I think you may be referring to the "Sports Option" catalog, which is similar to the Nissan Competition Catalog (what we had in the US), offering factory approved equipment designed for motorsports.

Good point 2many, I see where you are coming from also.

I was going on an assumption of haw other countries may refer to the 240... such as Kats' site reads "Datsun 240Z Sports" as the title www.geocities.jp/datsunz903/

The world may never know

My dad always called my first 280Z a PW Z, but he never explained what it ment-when I started dating, I figured it out!

I don't think of my car that way any more-ok, my wife is gone....

She can't read over my shoulder from that distance...

Seriously, I think of the car as one of the most beautiful works of art on four wheels!

I had forgotten about the sports catalog....Hmmmm!
