Purchased new through Datsun Broadwater Limited on 1^st August 1976 by its one and only vendor, a Mr M Willis of Burgess Hill, West Sussex this wonderfully original right hand drive UK supplied, Datsun 260Z is offered to the market for the first time since new! Following the owners purchase the Datsun was driven back to Sussex where it has resided ever since. Dry stored in the vendors small private collection, the Datsun was enjoyed as intended until circa 1990 where it was used less regularly and in 2022 the decision was made to recommission the 260Z ready for further road use. The works of which were undertaken by Datsun specialists, Fourways Engineering, Kent. The comprehensive recommissioning included renewal of the brakes, a major service, rebuild carburettors, remove and machine the cylinder head, replace inlet valves and valve guides, replace various bushes and bearings, and prepare for an Mot, the final cost totaling £10,381.35. Since then the Datsun has been treated to further maintenance by Fourways including a service in 2022 at a cost of £368, and further work in January 2024 costing £532.

Offered in its original colour combination of Silver paintwork over a black interior, the Datsun remains extremely original having covered a mere 37,231 miles from new. The paintwork is generally very good with few minor blemishes and the interior and engine bay are in very good order. The underside is too in very good condition having received a ‘Full Zeibart’ from new, as the original sales invoice confirms. The history file that accompanies the car includes the original warranty and service booklet, the original owners manual, original Datsun 260Z sales Brochures and the original sales invoice from Datsun Broadwater Limited. Also included is the original Datsun tool kit which appears to be unused. Additionally, the history file contains a sizeable Mot record and the current registration document. Recently, following the passing of the owner, the registration document has been changed into their partners name. This time warp example of the very rare right hand drive 260Z looks superb and would be at home in any serious collection.
