The Datsun 240Z inspired a generation of enthusiasts, outselling and outperforming almost all of its contemporaries. This book covers the full story of the Datsun sports cars, from the Fairlady roadsters through to the final 280ZX production model, illustrated throughout with contemporary material.

The complete history of the groundbreaking sportscar that opened up export markets for the Japanese - particularly in America. Covered are all the FairLady (Datsun 1600/2000 roadster) sportscars, through 240Z, 260Z and 280Z.

Some 35 years ago Datsun (now Nissan) introduced the 1970 Datsun 240Z sports car, emphatically disproving the perception that Japanese automakers could only produce economy cars. Designed specifically to appeal to the American market, the Z car has enjoyed long-term popularity with its sporty styling and impressive performance. Z car fans are loyal and numerous. Over 1.4 million Z cars have been sold worldwide, including 1 million-plus in the U.S. The five generations of Z cars include the latest version, the 350Z introduced in 2003, which has refueled interest in Z cars. This book will thoroughly cover the history of this breakthrough Japanese sports car, and will include official Datsun/Nissan photography and memorabilia such as advertising and international marketing materials.

Some 75 articles drawn from four Continents trace the progress of Datsun's highly competitive 240Z and 280Z coupes between 1970 and 1978. Included are road, track, comparison and long-term tests, new model introductions and updates together with full specifications and performance data. Also featured are articles on tuning and racing, plus advice is offered on acquiring a good pre-owned 240Z or 260Z.
