Reports from overseas of huge money being paid for rare versions of the 240Z are bound to influence local asking prices.

The averages in our survey for 2.4 and 2.6-litre two-seaters have been held down by part-finished ‘projects’ however the cost of Japanese-spec Fairlady Zs has climbed above $60,000 and will move higher.

Open-top models have settled, with 1500 Fairlady and 1600 models mostly below $25,000 while the scarce 2000 Sports is typically $35-45,000. Those wanting a 1970s Datsun with sporty looks and sufficient practicality should consider the 260Z 2+2. These in excellent condition cost $25-30,000 with the newer, more powerful 280ZX at $10,000 less.
