Tamiya 1/12 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG SC # 12051
Released in October 1969, the Nissan Fairlady Z went on to become a world-renowned high-performance sports car.
A stylish long nose, short deck body was married with a 2-litre inline-6 engine and cushioned by 4-wheel independent strut suspension.
The 240Z was an export version with 2.4-litre engine that was also released for the Japanese market in November 1971 on the back of excellent race performance.
The top-grade variant of the car was the 240ZG, whose form was accented with the long "G nose" and FRP over fenders, and a plethora of tune-up parts was available to those faithful owners who wanted to tweak its performance and stamp their individuality on this legendary car.
