Hey, just reading the latest issue of Motor Sport magazine and noticed an ad on page 161 for a Datsun 240Z "super samurai":ermm:, whatever that is. Must be pretty nice because the seller is asking 24,000 pounds! Anyone know anything about this car?

'Super Samuri' are a series of 240Zs 'breathed on' for customers of a performance shop in the UK by one Spike Anderson, of 'Big Sam' fame.

They are now quite rare .

'Big Sam' was raced to many victories by Win Percy, one of Britains great touring car drivers.

Edit-Quote -"And if you happen to be passing that way in your shiny new Super Car, and come across the meanest looking Datsun you ever saw, think twice before taking it on, and avoid egg on your face" ;) End quote.

This article could stand to be updated, but for now it may give you a little background. Big Sam got a new owner a couple years ago AIR. I think it sold for something like $125K USD.. in a very depressed economy. Far less than Nick spent restoring it.

Thanks for the links! I know of Big Sam, but I had never heard of the Super Samuri Zeds. This car in Motor Sport has just had a 20,000 pound restoration, and the asking price is 24,000. Good thing I live on this side of the pond, or I would be sorely tempted LOL

Ok! Sorry for the typos in the last post, I was on my phone. The ad is on page 161 of the magazine. Phone number is 01787210513. Also a Alfa Romeo 1600, BMW Schnitzer and a Landrover Defender for sale. Beautiful looking 260 you have! Would love to see some pictures!
