The 240Z and 260Z scored in reliability (where British models were increasingly failing), they scored in performance, and they scored in their excellent handling balance, achieved by setting the big straight-six engine well back in the structure. There was plenty of room inside, even though the cabin was a little austere to look at, and there was also no doubt that the Datsun's hardtop coupe configuration gave it additional appeal at a time when the safety aspect of open cars was beginning to be questioned. Attractive styling played its part too, and it is interesting that the 240Z and 260Z came from the drawing board of Albercht Goertz, the same man who had penned some of the classic BMW models of the later 1950s and early 1960s. Enthusiasts today look upon the 240Z as one of the first really great (as distinct from merely competent) cars to come out of Japan. The articles reproduced in this book do a fine job of showing why that should be so. Included are road, track, comparison & long term tests, new model introductions & performance data, tuning & racing plus advice is offered on acquiring a good pre-owned 240Z & 260Z. A total of 260 fully illustrated pages.
