Datsun - 240Z - 1972

This superb Datsun in concours condition has just completed a full restoration in 2020. POINTS FORTS: • Original engine prepared with programmable electronic fuel injection and 6 ITB throttle bodies • Full Restomod restoration (chassis mounted on a rotisserie, new suspension and brakes) • Speedhut instrumentation and bespoke leather and Alcantara upholstery HISTORY/PRESENTATION: Lunched in the early 1970s, the Datsun 240Z (S30) revolutionized the sports car market with its elegant styling and high-performing inline-6 engine. This 1972 example was imported from the United States to France in 2017. Purchased by the current owner in 2019, the vehicle benefited from a full Restomod restoration, blending the classic 70s design with modern technologies. The odometer shows about 3,000 km of limited use since the work was completed (about 240,000 km on the odometer before restoration). BODYWORK/PAINT: Body fully restored with the chassis rotisserie-treated, chromate/phosphate treatment and very high-quality paint in a specific shade. Carbon fibre elements are present inside and outside, and all fasteners have been replaced. Modern front and rear lighting with new headlights and taillights equipped with high-performance LED bulbs. INTERIOR: Bespoke upholstery, fully new, crafted by a trimmer in leather and Alcantara. Modern Speedhut onboard instrumentation. Installation of a half-roll bar at the rear of the cabin. MECHANICS: Original matching-numbers inline-6 engine rebuilt, conversion from carburetors to programmable electronic injection with 6 ITB throttle bodies and full stainless exhaust, providing the car with an additional 30 DIN horsepower, bringing output to 160 DIN hp from the original 130. Five-speed manual transmission. Fully rebuilt braking system (Wilwood four-piston calipers with 300 mm discs at the front, 300 mm discs at the rear). Adjustable coilovers and new front and rear suspension. The vehicle starts reliably and can cover long distances. DOCUMENTS: French classic registration card in the seller’s name. Full appraisal dossier. Photo dossier documenting the restoration from A to Z (about 1,000 photos). The latest technical inspection date is October 9, 2025; as the car holds a collection registration, the inspection is valid for 5 years. The vehicle can be inspected and collected on site. Delivery on a trailer or arrangements for export abroad are possible at the buyer’s expense. Transfer of ownership or export paperwork remains the responsibility of the purchaser.
