I was lucky enough to successfully bid for this car on eBay in early July 2006 after 2 weeks of stress and anxiety it finally arrived into Brisbane on the 17th of July 06 from Melbourne.

The Car arrived needing a major clean and detail and replacement of the diff and gearbox oils, which were as thick as tomato sauce. After 4 days of solid cleaning, rust repairs and revitalizing, the car now looks excellent.

My car had originally been directly imported from Japan as a personal import at sometime in the 80’s to Western Australia.

In 1993 the car was purchased by the previous owners father and moved to Melbourne where it spent the next 13 years.

My car is one of the 2 seater versions of the 280ZX which was not imported into this country making it a very rare site on our roads, All Japanese Zed cars are given the designation of Fairlady Z through out its model range and this car with a chassis number of HS130001395 denotes it was released from the factory for Japanese local market with a L28E fuel injected engine which it still has.

I hope to restore this car to its former glory and spend time enjoying it with my family and the club in the future.
