niushork Posted September 1, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 1, 2018 Hi community. I have moved to Switzerland from Florida with my 240z and I'm in the middle of getting the homologation of the car to get Swiss License Plates (for the time being I'm still driving around with my Florida Antique blue plates, see attached pic). As part of the technical inspection they are requesting that I present the Owners Manual (which did not get when I bought my car). At http://www.xenonzcar.com/ they had the manual but the link is not working. Anyone who could help me to get a PDF version of it ? Many thanks.

niushork Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted September 2, 2018 Thanks. I already have the Service Manual. As for the link, it is fake, just to get the credit card number. Thanks will keep trying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gundee Posted September 3, 2018 Share #5 Posted September 3, 2018 Ok I will bite and ask a stupid question. What does the owners manual have anything to do with new plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does the owners manual have anything to do with new plates. I just did a quick search on Swiss requirements for importing a personal car from another country. One of the required bits of documentation is the owners manual... Who knew! http://www.helloswitzerland.ch/-/importing-a-car Read the section "How to proceed". I will say that it makes no sense to me why you have to have the owners manual. In the US when you trade a car in, many times the dealership will remove the owners manual and not pass it on to whoever the car is sold to, so it's common to not get an owners manual when buying a used car. Maybe if someone on these boards has a 72 240z and is in Switzerland they might lend a manual to get through the red tape?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w3wilkes Posted September 3, 2018 Share #7 Posted September 3, 2018 I did find a pdf of a '73 owners manual. Don't know if it will do though. http://240260280.com/Docs/Owners Manual/1973 240Z Owners Manual.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niushork Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share #10 Posted September 5, 2018 Thanks to all for the follow up and trying to help. Unfortunately the Swiss authorities request the Owners Manual for registration of the car. If anyone has one PDF version that will be great.
