*Factory twin-turbo
*Long-term ownership
*Japanese import

Presented is a 1991 300Z Fairlady that's in average but working condition. As the Fairlady nametag suggests, this car is a RHD Japanese import and is the desirable factory twin turbo model. The twin turbo 3.0 V6 engine was sold solely in the Japanese market, so they are very rare to find in the UK. Equipped with the four-speed automatic transmission, the twin turbo engine had a power output of 280hp – an increase of 58hp over the standard non-turbo model. The car comes from a long-term ownership, having been imported circa 2005. The fibreglass panels and the paintwork need attention. The car is running and driving, however the engine bay could do with a clean. The interior is also relatively tatty. This is a good, solid example and there is good potential on offer. Would not require a huge amount of work to be brought back up to a high standard.
