1978 Datsun 260Z with 17200 Miles From New For Sale

This incredible 2 owner 1978 Datsun 260Z is likely to be the most original, lowest mileage and best preserved example left in the world.

Sold new on 18 August 1978 to a Mr Edward Kemp from Harlow Datsun for the sum total of GBP 6210 including all taxes, this is shown on the car’s original bill of sale which is present in the history folder. The original service book, user manual and original Harlow Datsun tax disk holder is included. All disks have been kept from 1986 to when the car was last used by Edward Kemp before his passing in 2010.

The car remained in Edward Kemp’s family until being sold to the present owner, via Classic Car Solutions in 2017. The new owner shipped the car to his home in Melbourne Australia where the car has now resides.

When purchased in 2017, the mileage of the car was 15457 miles. Every MOT certificate is present in the car’s history file supporting this mileage.

Upon taking delivery of the car in 2017, it was evident that the car was completely original. It had allegedly never been used in the rain and was heavily wax oiled from new. The interior of the car presents as new with no wear and tear on any components. There are no cracks or splits in the upholstery. The car comes with its original tool kit and jack.

Notwithstanding the car’s extremely well preserved condition, it did have some minor rust. The current owner has had the rust removed and the affected areas treated and repainted. Apart from these areas the car retains its original paintwork.

To make the car more useable, the current owner has fitted modern AC, central locking and LED headlamps. The car is fitted with new Vredestein tyres.

The car has been fitted with 240Z ‘Z Therapy’ carburettors and a 240Z replica exhaust system. These items transform the performance of the car. The original carburettors have been retained should the new owner wish to retro-fit the original items.

There are receipts for approximately AUD 45000
on work completed to the car since 2017. The car is part of a larger collection and has only travelled approximately 1700 miles by the current owner.

The car drives like a new 260Z only with the added performance of the carburettor upgrade.

The car is being sold via auction at Collecting Cars - details above
