Model: Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo Auto
Year: 1991
Mileage: 106,850
Tax: No
MOT: No
Location: East Sussex
Price: £650
This has been off the road almost 5 years. Failed its MOT in 2008 on a rusty sill. The work was carried out, customer subsequently couldn't afford to pay and never collected the car. Debt was eventually settled with the car and V5 handed over. Sadly for that time it sat outside - hence the condition its now in.
I got it towed to my yard and it started up fine and moved under its own power. Does misfire at idle but all 6 cylinders are working if encouraged with the throttle. Main problem is she's overheating very quickly. The waterpump drive belt sounds awful and the viscous fan doesn't run at full power. There's no oil/water mix to suggest headgasket. The water it's dumping is usually cold so may even be a clogged up radiator.
Due to this fault I've not managed to drive it on the road. Unsure what the gearbox, turbos or brakes are like really. Hesitates when pulling away but all Zeds do if not used. It needs a major service. There's no smoke billowing from the back and turbo gauge suggests they're spooling up OK. Brakes are not seized.
Paint is faded/lacquer peel all over. Bonnet/wings/bumper/rear panel especially. Spoiler has gone - common in Zeds!
This is a rare UK Zed. It doesn't look too bad underneath from what I can see. Sills are good as they were repaired properly. No holes in the floor!
All tyres have very good tread.
Interior is a little grubby but tidy. Full black leather. There's no stereo but all speakers and wiring are present.
Ideal project or donor car perhaps. I took a gamble I could use this to repair my Zed. Unfortunately it's got the same sort of faults so my bet didn't pay off. I also bought it covered in snow so didn't see quite how bad the paint was. You win some, you lose some
Drop me a PM or James on 07933 641790.
You'll need a trailer to take her home - she won't drive that far. There is a recovery company operating from the yard I rent - I can provide details.

And a rare car to see on our fair shores, I can't remember last time I saw one.....
