1976 DATSUN 260Z

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers at The Classic Sale at CarFest 2026 on Saturday the 29th of August - Sunday the 30th of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN. The price indicated is the lower auction estimate.

Supplied new by Datsun Broadwater Ltd on 1st August 1976 to Mr M. Willis of Burgess Hill, West Sussex, remaining with the Willis family for decades before joining a small private Collection.

Enjoyed regularly in its early years before being dry-stored from the early 1990s, having clearly been maintained with great care throughout its life.

Expertly recommissioned in 2022 by renowned Datsun specialists Fourways Engineering of Kent, with over £10,000 invested in comprehensive mechanical refurbishment.

Works included a major service, full brake overhaul, carburettor rebuild, cylinder head machining, new inlet valves and guides, suspension bushes, bearings and MOT preparation, followed by further servicing in 2022 and January 2024.

Presented in its original Silver Metallic (306) with black interior, displaying exceptional originality throughout, with an engine bay, luggage compartment and underside all reflecting its remarkably low mileage.

Protected from new with a documented Ziebart treatment, undoubtedly contributing to the car's outstanding structural condition today.

Accompanied by an exceptional history file including its original sales invoice, warranty and service booklet, owner's handbook, period sales brochures, extensive MOT history and the original factory toolkit.

Although the V5C records four previous keepers, these were effectively members of the Willis family before passing to one further collector. An outstandingly genuine and beautifully documented 260Z, your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged.
