Fantastic looking car mate and I think a great choice. The Datsun 240Z is one of the most beautiful cars ever made, and I loved looking at mine. It is a pity it was really not great to drive, which is ultimately why I sold it. Although I haven't had the chance to drive a 944 as yet, by all accounts they drive as good or better than they look.

Interesting - what’s not great about driving them?  Performance? Handling?

The performance was fine. Mine had an L28 with triple OER carbs, and a cam. It wasn't fast, but that wasn't really the issue. It just felt like a very primitive old car. Compared to my 74 911, they are night and day. The 911 is so much more refined and civilised. The Z just felt rickety.

Aaah, I saw a garnet red 952 had sold in the 944 Turbo Australia group on Facebook but I didn't realise it was the same one. Wow, that's quite a long sale time! 

Mind you... I looked on Carsales not long ago and I don't remember seeing that one listed... hmm!

I ended up buying one in Brisbane. This is mine here:
