1974 260Z early UK RHD 2 Seater for light restoration SOLD

1974 Datsun 260Z Genuine UK RHD 2 seater for light restoration. * Runs and drives*

I bought the 260 in 1996. I ran it until 1999 until the Janspeed exhaust developed a hole and the car was taken off the road due to this and imminent working abroad. It's been garaged ever since including 3 house moves, regularly started / moved.

When I bought the car it had been restored except for the drivers seat(!). Good pair of 260 cloth/ vinyl seats included in the sale.

It's remarkably solid. There is no corrosion underneath, the inner wings have no corrosion and the floors are good. It all looks factory original including the underfloor rails, bulkhead, battery tray, etc, there are no unsightly patches anywhere I can find.

There a few problem areas - corrosion to the front edge of the bonnet, the n/ s rear outer wheel arch top lip, the rear tailgate (surface only), both door bottoms and the drivers door at the top(!) There are some surface scabs on the sills but no rot.

Most outer panels have surface rust breaking out. This is only surface rust and will sand off.
The car can be driven but I wouldn’t advise it due to length of time in storage.

The rear bumper is missing but apart from that is all complete.

This is a rare opportunity for a restoration without the need for a weld-a-thon. It hasn't been badly welded / bodged in the past like so many have.

It was my intention to get the car back on the road but it never happened and in all likely-hood will never happen so it's time to let someone else take it on and enjoy it. I even eventually got a full Janspeed exhaust system. This is still like new and also included in the sale.

I have many happy memories and it's a sad sale.

I'm not interested in offers / what's your best price, etc, unless the car has been viewed.

Thanks.
