1971 Datsun 240Z review from United Arab Emirates
"Vroom!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust!! In the humid Dubai climate, this white car always had brown showing!
Air conditioner controls would stick.
Plug leads were routed through retainers built into the alloy cam-cover. A spray of WD40 was almost mandatory on the most humid days.
Front brake job was tough, you try working on a car at 125 degrees!!!
General comments?
I loved this car, my first ever sporty model. I only sold it because I had to leave the country. I would buy another in a heartbeat.
