Here for sale is this 1992 (K reg) Mazda AZ1 Autozam 660cc Turbo. I have owned the car for the past 10 years and has been part of my extensive ‘K’ car collection of miniature Japanese micro cars. Im haveing to shrink down my collection due to loss of storage space so this is one of the first to go.

I think this has to be one of the lowest mileage AZ1 in the world It was Imported to the UK when it was just 2 years old and has covered a genuine 7000kms (approx 5000 miles) its unmarked both inside and out and the paintwork is pretty much flawless. I looked long and hard to find a good example which i could keep as part of my collections and can guarantee you will not find a nicer example.

The car has just been MOT and taxed for 6 Months

The Car can only be described as in Showroom condition both inside and out. the interior is in good condition and everything works as it should. The car drives 100% without fault.

This really needs to be bought by a collector and cherished as you will not find another as nice as this.

If you have any questions or to view please feel free to email or ring Dave

Delivery can be arranged, happy to aid in shipping abroad as these are now very collectable back in Japan.

I also have a Honda Beat for sale.

I am always interested in unusual cars .I would be will ing to p/x for the right car

[MG Man]

I think the owner forgot it's just a 280Z..........not even a 240

[moti]

nope, more of a "iz mines so et besss"


either way, saw it was for sale by the dealer.
those miles may have been done during test drives.
although it's a 280, i still love it but at that price and the steering is on the wrong side i think not

[Mr. Red Sleeper]

I think the owner forgot it's just a 280Z..........not even a 240

W/O t-tops as well...thats why the price will be lower..

[MG Man]

t-top or not, a 280zx is just not that collectible, mint or otherwise

[Mr. Red Sleeper]

I think that's a matter of taste/opinion.
Others may say that an mg isnt as well.
Z-cars have always had their following from day 1 as i know you're aware.

My point is, it's been my understanding that most z-car enthusiasts, tend to prefer acquiring the t-top, 2 + 2, models

[MG Man]

maybe 'collectible' was the wrong word......the price for a 280, t-top or otherwise could never be more than a 240 of equivalent condition

[Mr. Red Sleeper]

Definately...older / more antique, the higher the fetch price.
Having said that , had you the opportunity to acquire a 30 +yo car, wouldnt you want it with as much of the factory available options available from that era?

[moti]

had you the opportunity to acquire a 30 +yo car, wouldn't you want it with as much of the factory available options available from that era?

of course i would, won't be much but would make it much nicer/enjoyable

[MG Man]

it's not always a case of a car being older
Lots of factors affect value, including racing pedigree, rarity, options etc
As per the 240 / 280 debate, the 240 is typically more sought after as being one of the truly iconic Japanese sports cars. It did what the British industry was failing to do, which was provide a powerful, fast, good looking, well handling sports car with modern specs, for a reasonable price. Not to mention the 240z has a legendary racing pedigree

By the time the 280 came along, it was bigger and heavier, and not quite the pure sports car of its predecessor...heck the press of the day called it a boulevard cruiser

Regarding the options argument, not everyone desires a car with 'every option available'
Many people don't like the sunroof / t-top feature because it adds weight, is prone to leaks and rattles etc.

Few would argue the 240z is a far better car than the 280zx

[cinco]

no arguement there
the 280 was a gt car
the 240 was a sports car
