any scottish 240z owners here,

[istoo]

Preferably in the north east. I have wanted one of these since I first clapped eyes on one, a few decades ago. Read a lot on these over the years, but like a few classics I have tried, I would like to know I fit! 6ft2, I know I can not drive a delorean...

Anyone will to let me sit in one, have a chat about ownership and running costs would be appreciated.

It probably doesn't help much, but I know there are at least 2 seen often in Aberdeen over the summer.

Always had a soft spot for these too although I think they will feel very retro to drive.

STOP IT!

I hear what your saying about retro too drive, i love the M3, it incredibly capable at almost anything. But its very... german. Clinical. I miss running old cars and their quirks. but then again i like being connected to the car, my old M535i felt like that too. However the 240z, I keep coming back to these. I am a child of that era and always fancied a car same age or older than me. pre-72 has its tax appeals.

There was a red one out in Kintore, but the chap has sold it on now. I chatted with him and can confirm i should fit, he is bigger than me.

cc8 if you know any of the other two i would love to have a PM please!

Really? The Classic Car Club used to have one and Matt managed it fine - he's was about 6'3.

I don't know of any, but im 6 ft, and managed to fit in one with decent space to move etc. a few years ago.

BUY ONE :-)

Really! Delorean, 100% i don't fit, a good friend has one, i tried to get in it just a few weeks ago, if i tilt my head 60° to the left then yes i can drive it fine... 240z, it seems i will fit OK.

So thats one hurdle down, next is to speak to someone locally if i can.

knowing your car history did you drive it at an event? Partially interested in taking it for some weekend and track driving.

[OlberJ]

There is an orange or red one that competes in the SMRC classics.

That is achingly beautiful.

[OlberJ]

Indeed, it's a living room special that one.

Is it yours or do you know the owner? Circumstances aren't right at the moment but i'd kill to have one of these as a toy. I might even get shot of the mo'bike for one.

[OlberJ]

I wish, just an image hunt on google.

The decently modified cars thread started out with a lot of very nice 240Zs and the likes. I'll go see what i can find later tonight.

unfortunately not mate, I did not have the please of driving it, just had a wee seat in it.

however, I would imagine it would be quite the enjoyable track machine matey, and, id love some pax laps when you get one ;-)
