Thanks: I have tried to get the paper to change the rare statement, not sure where he got that information. Not from me!  I hope he changes it.

Hi Dan,

Glad to see you and your car getting some recognition.  Looks good on you!

BTW; Fired up the engine in my 240 resto for the first time today.  Music to my ears, after all these years.  Many thanks for all your help and advice along the way.  

Cheers,

Only about 175 left on the road?  Is that accurate?

No, that's just lazy journalism.

That early Canadian spec 240Z is very rare indeed!

Does Canadian spec mean that when you press the horn button, you hear a voice yell out, "Oh, sorry!"?

Means you use Maple Syrup instead of 10W30....

There is a bit of information in this thread.

It is a HLS30UN 

SteveJ,

You're partly right.  It says "Oh Sorry" in both official languages.

Actually the horn sounds "eh? eh? eh?"

As in "Canadian, eh?" 

"beauty day, eh?"
