Datsun 260Z – 1974 – Timeless Japanese Sports Coupé

Offered for sale is this elegant and increasingly collectible 1974 Datsun 260Z, one of the most iconic Japanese sports cars of the 1970s and a key model in the legendary Z lineage.

With its long bonnet, short rear deck and perfectly balanced proportions, the 260Z represents the golden era of analogue driving. Powered by a smooth and charismatic 2.6-litre inline six-cylinder engine, paired with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, it delivers an engaging and authentic classic sports car experience.
