The Appeal
Nissan's long and illustrious line of 'Z-cars' is rightly revered. Challenging the once-dominant European and American sports car manufacturers for supremacy, much like Japan's motorcycle makers were doing at the same time, the Nissan 'Z-cars' showed the world just how good a sports car could be. The 300ZX came out in 1983, and much like its predecessors, it was miles ahead of the competition.
We're delighted to offer this 1988 Z31 example, featuring a Euro spec V6 turbo engine paired with a manual transmission. Despite the absence of a written service history, the vendor states the car's technical condition is flawless, with a gearbox that shifts perfectly and smooth-running engine with no known issues. The seats have been retrimmed to a good standard, greatly improving the look of the interior, and as the photographs show, the Nissan presents very well for its age.
