The Datsun 280Z is perhaps one of the most beautiful Japanese sports cars ever built and if you have a budget of roughly €50,000 (~$60,000) to spend on a classic, this one could be for you.
This particular 280Z was originally delivered in California in 1976 but now resides in the Netherlands. While the listing doesn’t mention when the car was imported to Europe, it does state that the car has undergone a comprehensive restoration to return it to its original condition.

The paintwork has been touched-up in areas that needed small repairs and the car also features enlarged front and rear spoilers that have been sprayed in the same shade of metallic brown as the rest of the bodywork. Further adding to the appeal of the car are the black wheel arch extensions and the gold wheels with chrome-finished lips.
A handful of other changes have been made to the car. For example, it now sits on a set of BC Racing coilovers that lower the ride height and has been fitted with new, stiffer bushings.
Found in the cabin of this 280Z are re-trimmed black vinyl, a three-spoke steering wheel, and a wooden shift knob.
The seller, Gallery Aaldering, adds that the car remains in excellent running condition with its 168 hp 2.8-liter straight-six being coupled to a five-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels. Despite its age, the car has just 31,961 km (19,859 miles) on the clock and an asking price of €47,950 ($57,249).
