An Article From 2003 About The Datsun 240Z

[bartsscooterservice]

It's Dutch. But in the text it says Goertz took the then 6 year old Ferrari 250 GTO as an example for the 240Z design ? ( Many here say Goertz hasn't much or anything to do with the 240Z design, but anyhow just posting what they are saying here )

Thanks for that article (pictures).  That 1st orange one would be what mine looked like when new, minus the rocker stripes.

From certain angles a recent Mercedes seems to have some Z car design elements.

And the new designs seem to be following the same path the Z car design did.

Mag cover shows an early Z, left-hand drive, antenna on right side rear??????

Good eye Fred.

Perhaps a right-hand drive Z in reverse image? An easy way to alter a pic. if you need a left hand drive Z.

Look like the negative was flipped and the steering wheel was added after.  Look at the coat pocket on the man, hankerchief usually are in the left breast pockets.  There is no mirror on the drivers side also and the wipers are on the wrong side.  Probably a right hand drive car.

My take on it.
