    If I brought another Z home the only 'parts' lying about would be my own dismembered body parts...

    Yeh, what am I going to do with all those web-links to auto classifieds now???

    Interior is all there but: dash is well cracked, carpets tatty, console also cracked, base of driver's seat is an explosion of vinyl and foam ...all repairable...after the body is done. I'd rather walk up to nice car and sit in a tatty one than the other way around!

    Thanks for all your good wishes guys, I have uploaded a small selection of photos. Note that none of these are artistic as they were taken to highlight any problem areas on the car befrore I viewed it in person (thanks Nick!) The car is very straight and has no apparent rust in the chassis, floors, hatch, engine bay. The photos show significant rust in the driver's door and there is also rust (less heinous in appearance) in the sills. The paint looks great in the sunshine but has chips and dings that have been collected over the 15 years since its last trip to the bodyshop. Interestingly, it is a very high number for a 240z (HS30-103477) and has 'UK-style' indicators mounted on the front bumper and a MPH speedo... was this car originally intended for the United Kingdom?

    Well, it had to happen sooner or later and as it turned out...much later... I've finally bought a Z! <long sigh> The car is presently in Victoria and will be coming to its new home in Western Australia as soon as a few logistical details are sorted out. It is a '73 with original engine/g'box, original tan and black interior and original (roughish) exterior. Yes, it means doing what I said I wouldn't do and starting a restoration project... but its worth it! Many thanks to my spy (NickF) for turning up a little gem in his own neighborhood!

    Nathan, Your car is beautiful..no reason why it shouldn't sell. I would be very keen on it myself if it was a manual or not in Queensland. Hard to justify the effort of buying a car so far away that is not quite what I'm after. you should also try advertising in: www.ozdat.com.au www.carsales.com.au www.carpoint.com.au www.autotrader.com.au www.ndsoc.com.au (get in touch with comitee via the website - very helpful) www.trading-post.com.au Note that some of these will overlap with state newspapers but I've found this selection will pretty much give you Australia-wide exposure.

    Steve, I notice a few guys are giving you details of their HLS30 cars too. This will potentially increase the size of your database by a factor of x10! Maybe you need to clarify again that this is for RHD variants only? Hayden

    So someone decided to spend all that money and then ticked the box for THAT colour!?

    Gav, you need to watch 'Le Mans'. Then you'll know about boxer engines on steriods!

    Rogersz, Try this. I own a copy of the book and its full of period articles, road tests etc on the 240, 260 and 260 2+2. I'll have a closer look tonight to see what specific 260 articles there are... http://www.pitstop.net.au/pitstop/prog/OpenDocument.cgi?id=V0X7S13PUM&PLU=552

    I believe that the diesel crankshafts are also made of steel and able to tolerate higher rpm. For a fairly comprehansive description on the intricacies of building a 3.1 litre (diesel cranked) engine, read this: http://www.zhome.com/rnt/3.1HanveyProject.htm

    Simple question: Can someone quickly tell me the Bore and Stroke of the stock L24? Thanks

    Do you mean the youngest 1973 model? Looks like a very nice car indeed... I'll be interested to see what the interior looks like. wish it was in Perth...
  21. Amen!
