Hope thats not an indication of the degree of maintenance The car has been dormant for many years according to the description, so not surprising really. Looks like a car with great potential. Hope it finds a worthy new owner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed Head Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share #1456 Posted April 22, 2022 That guy has turned in to some kind of diamond finder. He has a whole list of nice cars sold on BAT. https://bringatrailer.com/member/adamike/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HS30-H Posted April 23, 2022 Share #1458 Posted April 23, 2022 Another comment on a BaT auction which attempts to re-write history. Why do this? First of all, what is the point in decanting out the '240Z' variants from a timeline which includes the other S30-series Z/'270 Keisha' variants? Is this not - once again - an attempt to make the '240Z' (whatever that is...) some kind of KING? "Regular production chassis serial numbers"? The cars in question were 'Kojo Shisaku' and 'Seisan Shisaku' examples (by definition Prototypes rather than regular production cars), and we have discussed them at length on this forum in the past after Kats showed us the confidential factory documents which listed them. Out of those first fourteen 'Kojo Shisaku'(factory prototype) and 'Seisan Shisaku' (production prototype) cars - the first fourteen cars to be given a unique chassis prefix and body serial number combination - just three of them were 'HL270U' HLS30-prefixed cars. One was an 'H270U' HS30-prefixed car, Four were 'P270' PS30-prefixed and six were '270' S30-prefixed. So what is all this "#1, #2 and #3" stuff? It is nonsense, isn't it? Why is the history of these cars so consistently misreported and misrepresented by people who should (and do) know better? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th-Z Posted April 23, 2022 Share #1459 Posted April 23, 2022 No, it's the level of naivete, and high level of "I could care less". Nonsense yes, but that guy is there to sell his car. That's all. BaT banter is just that, banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Av8ferg Posted April 23, 2022 Share #1460 Posted April 23, 2022 If I were selling a car I do t think I’d use BaT. While there are some great comments helping potential buyers there are just as many trolls on there. There are people that make comments that are just not true (sign of the times) damaging the potential sale. This site suffers the pitfalls of many social media sites. What’s true and what’s false?

Banter is one thing, but the data I'm talking about is being presented as historical fact by somebody who clearly understands that it is nothing of the sort.
