HS30-H Posted August 23, 2002 Share #49 Posted August 23, 2002 Rolf,Whenever I see Goertz linked to the S30-series Z ( why does everyone talk about JUST one model of that series? ) I will squawk.Poor old Matsuo and his team deserve to have someone at least trying to set the story straight. I realise its an impossible task, but I don't care. Alan T.

Alfadog Posted August 23, 2002 Share #50 Posted August 23, 2002 Well you've made us all aware - so I guess that's the first step SPREAD THE WORD ! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/2319-only-aud-29500000/?page=5#findComment-13901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav240z Posted August 24, 2002 Share #51 Posted August 24, 2002 Well Alan you could always write that book everyone keeps asking you to write.I'd believe that it wasn't goertz who designed the Z basically because the information on it was so inconclusive everywhere on the net there's mentions of different people who desgined this car.Good luck telling everyone but, as you say people just wanna put a name to the car I spose.

Alfadog Posted August 24, 2002 Share #52 Posted August 24, 2002 Actually yeah! You could write a book all about teh DESIGN of the Z and all the controversy involved...Would be good - no one has even attempted it yet ...... I thinkDo it !!!!!!!

HS30-H Posted August 24, 2002 Share #53 Posted August 24, 2002 Thanks for the encouragement, but;No one would publish it ( unless I paid for it myself - "vanity publishing" style ).No one would buy it ( not interested - 'nuff said ).Goertz would sue me ( bet he can afford better lawyers than me ).Nissan would probably not want to get involved ( typical ).Matsuo would get even more embarrassed ( poor bloke ).All the non-Japanese "Z experts" would either sit on the fence and wait to see what happened, or support Goertz because they read in a book somewhere that Goertz designed the car..........See what I / anybody would be up against?Nah, Nissan should do it and do it hard. They have the balls to credit Matsuo in Japanese press / media, but they won't pass the story on to their foreign PR depts. This makes it look even worse for them, as everybody outside Japan just thinks it looks like they are accepting what Goertz says!...........Nissan have been total dumwits about the whole thing from the word go. They should have come down hard on Goertz's claims when he actually first made them. Almost too late now.Anyway, I'm still waiting for the definitive S30-series Z book - and I reckon it ought to come from Japan. Still waiting.......Alan T.

Alfadog Posted August 25, 2002 Share #54 Posted August 25, 2002 You dont need a publisher if all you want to do is spread the word.You could always publish it on the Internet. Word spreads quickly...

Doug Posted August 25, 2002 Share #55 Posted August 25, 2002 Speaking of publishing on the internet, perhaps Mike would host it for you Alan. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/2319-only-aud-29500000/?page=5#findComment-13983 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doehring Posted August 26, 2002 Share #56 Posted August 26, 2002 in his latest TV interview the reporter asked for him about the 240 Z and Goertz agreed mthat he did not design the Z. He is quiet about that. He only mentioned that he did some work in Japan as an consultant. Okay now ?I wanted to present my Z at a concour d'elegance. Most cars there are drawn by well known designers. I cancelled.Rolf Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/2319-only-aud-29500000/?page=5#findComment-14056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
halz Posted August 26, 2002 Author Share #57 Posted August 26, 2002 WIMP!! Your car is good enough to be entered into a concours no matter who designed it. Perhaps an "unknown designer" would have his profile raised is more people showed their cars...
