At least three, if you count the 432-R.

Just for kicks, I made an effort to count. Assuming all the pictures shown on this page are from the same year, I counted four - A Fairlady Z (B&W photo), a blue LHD Z,  and two orangish Z432-badged cars, both of which may be the same color, but definitely have different tires, and one has a headlight cover installed. (is the one on the turntable an "R"?)

Of course, I wouldn't assume that folks in the marketing department were opposed the age-old trick of swapping tires, or adding badges and accessories after hours, all to help sell the illusion that there was more than a handful of cars built.  So perhaps that was part of the drill as well.

This is a flyer at the show. You can buy it on Yahoo auction for cheap. Seems no one knows it was a flyer of the show .

What with the show lasting for two weeks, Nissan certainly switched cars around on the displays to keep things fresh.

Here are the different cars that I see across various photos, as more and more come to light:

*918 Orange 432 on the rotating display (headlamp covers, lettered tyres etc).
*919 Yellow 432 on the main floor and then moved onto the rotating display (no headlamp covers, non-lettered tyres).
*Blue 'Fairlady Z Export Model' LHD on the angled 'speed wall' display.
*918 Orange 432-R on the main floor and then moved onto the 'speed wall' display (black hood, rear spoiler, plain steel wheels).
*920 Gold Fairlady Z-L on the main floor ('deluxe' bumpers).
*B/W photo Fairlady Z-S on the main floor and then moved onto the rotating display ('standard' non-trim bumpers, but with optional hubcaps).

Any advance on six?

Does anyone know if early 240z euro specs had pressure in BAR, temp in Celsius, speed in kph?

Yep, 100% sure about that, my 1972 (euro) had it and those meters i do have now in my (US) 1971 car!

I would like to share these pictures, sorry if I did it before in another thread. From Nissan Graph Dec 1969.

I can feel the atmosphere, huge excitement all over the place especially around these new car , Fairlady Z series .

I think the car which was covered by clouded people was a yellow, displayed at a ‘Owner’s Hall’ which was a bit far from Main stand of Nissan .

 I circled blue is a main stand of Nissan which is at Hall 2 , red is an Owner’s Hall which is at Hall 6. It is fun to imagine that every evening when the show closed , the car was taken care of wiping thousands of finger prints even got some dents and scratches !
