This book is designed to stop you wishing you had a Datsun Z sports car and give you the confidence to go out and buy one. It will tell you their strong points, their not so strong points, what to look for, where to look, and what type of Z you should go for.
It's hard to believe that Veloce has only just got around to publishing one of its long-running series of buyer's guides on the 240Z But that's probably a reflection of how the Datsun has transformed from being an unappreciated Japanese throwaway to a bona fide classic, over the past decade or soNewly has clearly been interested in these cars far longer than that, however, with his expertise in trim levels and so on being particularly impressive. This is a must-buy if you are looking to get a 240Z as your next classic. - Classic Car Weekly. This book does have lots of inside information on what to look for when choosing a Datsun 240Z, some history and specification details. Author Jon Newlyn knows his Zs; he was instrumental in setting up the Classic Z Register, become Chairman in 1998 and remains so today. His book really does cover the bits you need to know what searching for a 240Z. If you're serious in your search - for a potentially rally base, or even a road car, investing in this book to get proper knowledge is a very small price to pay if you luck-in to that perfect car for you. - IRDC Quattro. This Essential Buyer's Guide is a little different from most in that it only covers one models, across a fairly short production run (1969-'73). That means it's able to go into far greater depth than many of these broad-brush volumes, from its history to a highly detailed, hour-long evaluation of a potential purchase. An invaluable companion for any buyer. – Classic & Sports Car.
There are a few things that Jon is passionate about, one of them is cars, predominantly classic cars, and Japanese classic cars in particular. He first got involved with the Datsun Z series in 1985 when he purchased his first; a car that turned out to have motorsport history. During the restoration of this model his current Z became available, and was the most historically important model that came to the UK. His dedication to the S30 series was fostered then, and he helped nurture a new club (The Classic Z Register) to help owners restore their cars to their former glory. Jon has taken a central role and was appointed Chairman of the Register is 1998, a position he has held ever since. Jon has contributed to many magazine articles, and has compiled and co-written the Classic Z Register Magazine for the last 25 years. He is about to release “The Rambling of a Chairman” which is a collection of his magazine blogs over the last 20 years.
