We recently speculated on the motoring world"s departure from a certain type of sports coupe, perhaps best illustrated currently by the Nissan 370Z. Powerful. Naturally aspirated. Simple and (relative) value for money. This car here marks the very first chapter in Nissan"s storied journey through such a sports coupe philosophy: the rather delectable Nissan 240Z. Specifically, a Nissan 240ZG, where the G" stands for Grand". That refers to this car"s Group 4 homologation status. It was only built for Japan and badged a Fairlady, a version of which won the Fuji Grand Champion Series in 1972. So it"s got race provenance. And style. Just look at it. 240s have always been handsome things, but this one in particular, resplendent in purple sorry, Grand Prix Maroon" and with a few bodywork changes over a regular two forty zee mark it out as something special.
