A CLASSIC Z WITH A NEW BAG OF TRICKS

The original Datsun 240Z was an immediate success when it came to America in 1970. Fifty years later, the S30 is rightfully considered the most iconic sports car produced by Nissan, thanks to its elongated front-end, some notable achievements in motorsport, and, of course, its affordable price tag. Unlike the Skyline, the Z’s popularity meant there are still enough examples going around that any enthusiast looking to buy one can do so without paying a crazy premium. So, when 28-year-old Takayuki Suzuki was looking for a new project car, the S30 checked all the right boxes—and more.

The journey began several years ago while Takayuki was still in his early twenties searching for his next project car. He wasted plenty of time browsing for sale ads on local forums, until one day he discovered this clean ’74 260Z. The amount of shock and excitement he experienced was unreplicable, as he had just found a left-hand-drive model that was already imported from the U.S. It was a perfect match for him.
