All personal taste, but I'd rather this than a 'supercar' any day. That combination of the looks, the sound, the simplicity and the sensible power level. Just stunning.

This is the answer to modern "sports" cars. It's everything they aren't. Analogue, engaging and fun. Amazing. Congrats!

A 77' Datsun 280z was my first car I learned to drive on. After 3 years and a few minor breakdowns I traded it in for a pickup truck and didn't spend a day afterwards regretting it! 2 years later I found a 1972 Datsun 240z (lime-yellow & same birth year as me) and I KNEW I WOULD NEVER NEED ANOTHER CAR. -Fast forward 2 years of patient restoring and love and some jack-brat kid ran a light in his moms tin-can and T-BONED my Datsun, TOTALING IT. And that was that... for nearly 25 years I worked on my career and family and for my 50th birthday last year, I found and purchased a 1970 Datsun 240z for just under 20k ! Everything about this car is clean! During the winter, as it's cloaked under its silk car-cover in my garage, not a single trip to the garage refrigerator for a beer passes, that merely seeing her and being united doesn't pick up my spirits and make every beer taste THAT MUCH BETTER! I'm Complete again!

Beautiful custom 240Z. Underrated classic. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

One of Bradfords finest exports! Car looks and sounds amazing! Congratulations and well jelly! MZR need to be more known in the wider car community.

It sounds incredible, pure analogue experience 👌

Where has this guy been? He's one of my favourite presenters ever. More of him please.

This is fantastic that SDC are covering cars like this. Brilliant

Such underrated cars. The sound in these are incredible and right up there with other classics which are considered more exotic! Love the interior colour combination too. Brave souls driving it in such weather with no ABS and TC!

I'm very rarely impressed by restomods these days, too many gimics and trying to 'out-unique' competitors, especially the 911 fraternity - just so boring now. But this! This is wonderful, so refreshing to see and hear, and that interior trim and those seats just look absolutely stunning.

Phenomenal video given conditions, well done SCD and huge congratulations Charles, you’ve tapped into the UK’s best kept secret discovering MZR Roadsports and I wish you many years of driving utopia 🧡

That is one sexy motorcar. Far more desirable than any modern McLaren or Ferrari to me.

Beautiful car

What a fabulous car! Your smile driving it says it all. Enjoy in good health!

Good to see cars like this on the road 👌 🙂👍

i had been following this channel for some years and had the honour in getting some karting advice from Charles not going to lie i was a bit star struck as i immediately recognised him from these videos but i was to nervous to speak properly to him 😂😂 this guy has forgotten more than what most know about any car really any motorsport to be honest you only have to listen to what he says about them the passion and love he has for it its absolutely in his blood (mixed with unleaded ofc) 😂 What a guy! Amy from Liverpool

Absolutely lovely 😃👍👍

Lovely sound.

What a beauty! First Z's are just perfect...can't imagine that kind of power in such a light car, plus a manual gearbox to round the experience. 😍

First video I watched on this channel, it popped up (coincidentally, I hope) just as I'm reading about MRZ in Waft's Restomods book. What an absolutely gorgeous car, I hope you enjoy it as its makers intented.

I'm a Z guy all the way back to the 70s....this is one of the best I've ever seen!

i want to restore one of these one day, they just have such a timeless design

Happy to see someone doing these 240’s like Singer does the Porsche. Sadly, like the Singer I could never afford one like this.

That is the most stunning car ive seen. Any chance you could share a cost breakdown

Incredible, what an amazing sound! Congrats… UK weather and roads tho 😢

Congratulations. You must be delighted. I have a beautiful 260z (swb) that puts the widest of grins on my face every time I take it out. I'll never part with it. Am sure you'll enjoy yours for many years to come. Lovely review too...

Nicer than a Porsche, lovely silhouette and sound and yes, perfectly balanced. Great work.

I've been following any video MZR 240Z were shown and tested for years. And still, what a car! I'd really love to have one. Congratulations on such a magnificent build, really tastefully modified, a perfect recipe. 👏👏👏👌🏼🔝🔝

That workshop will be my first stop if I ever get back to the UK again (From NZ) I own NZ's first 240Z, it's in a million bits and I MUST get back into finishing the rebuild. Just the sound of this one in the video gets my juices flowing again.

They are great cars, I had a dark blue '74 240Z and it was tough and reliable. One of the best ever Japanese performance cars.

Love it, Looks beautiful, sounds beautiful, super cool and I know they are great to drive. Mine now has a 500HP RB26, but I l loved it even when it had 170hp, proper connection to the car and the road, feels very solid and no driver aids.

Awsome build and awsome spec. Congratulations

Back in the day when I was a lot younger, I had a black 240Z with Wolfrace alloys on ,…PMC 677L Best car ever, I had the time of my life with that motor, way ahead of their time imo, wish I still had it because they are fetching phenomenal prices now 😳! Great job on yours 👍

😎👍 Beauty!!! My buddy bought a 240z in 2007, and from the first time I experienced it, I was in love! I agree with everything mentioned in this video. For pure driving engagement & pleasure on the scenic back roads, I'll always enjoy an older, lighter, more engaging "classic" (but, the early 90's were only 10 years ago, right? 😁) sports car. Plus, modern cars are so over styled / all look the same / have terrible front end design. So many 90's Japanese sports cars look absolutely beautiful today, even as over 30 year old designs. As always, to each his or her own. For those chasing lap times and optimal performance, there is no denying that modern sports cars deliver the goods.

Ooof top notch!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

That's great!

Sounds glorious

Amazing looking machine!!

72 240z was my first car. My dad bought it for my 18th birthday for $1500. It was a one owner car... older (by the time I got it) lady owned it since new. Still had the wood steering wheel, which are RARE to find & gorgeous. The interior looked showroom clean apart from the dreaded dash cracks that had juuuuuust started to show. It was immaculate BUT, it was the 3 speed automatic which I guarantee took away from the experience. I eventually sold it for a 68 Firebird. In retrospect I never should have sold it and just swapped transmissions and turbocharged that L24.

you take that car's delivery on a day that has ice and snow on the ground. Brilliant there BIG GUY!! GR8 IDEA? IF YOU HAD WRECKED THAT THING, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN THE LAUGHING STOCK ON THE NET

Beautiful 👏 👏 👏

Absolutely gorgeous.. Tasteful modification..

Love it ❤

Lovely lovely car..Just about spot on for the road. 👍👍👍

It’s perfect

I have a stock 240z to. Still fun to drive, although 150hp ( 110 at the wheels maybe) is nothing anymore off course these days but it is still fun to drive. Just a fun cruiser on summer days. Off course i could put a 3 liter stroker in it, but i love it more original matching numbers

That war cry from the ITBs 💦

Amazing 🇨🇭

gee. that looks superb.

looking foreword to a proper shakedown in the spring when the roads are dry!!!

ur a very lucky man!!!

Great video.We're riding with ya.

Here I was thinking I was the only good thing to come out of Bradford 😉

👌🏻🔥🙌🏻

Who wouldn’t love one of these - ‘proper car’. It’s why I keep my Cerbera.

Congrats from Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

What a fantastic motor , colours perfect as well Is that coming to Merseyside your accent sounds local ? Would love to see that about

Of all the places in the world, I was not expecting to hear Bradford 😂 Lovely car. Bet it cost more than most supercars to build, though.

Hope those roads aren't salty!

Good choice in cars. I loved my Z….would love another.

Absolutely gorgeous car. If I should choose between a gt3rs and this yellow 240z I would say hai to the Datsun and nein to the Porsche

An MZR 240Z is my dream car... one day 😩😩

I kick myself every day for turning my nose up at these when I was a kid learning to drive in the 90's, when they could have been had for dirt cheap. I was so into muscle cars (and particularly Mustangs) at the time I didn't think much of the old import cars and now... now I want a 240Z or 260Z or even a 510, but they are unobtanium in decent shape now. They are all clapped out or super expensive.

🎉🎉🎉

Wow that's amazing zx model 240+ zx 280 i am machinec this car this car is race car gtx gtr and zx280 great car turbo system

240 Z's have been a favorite since I was at school ( a looooong time ago). Did you supply the base car or do they source one then do the rest? Might have to contact them

the steering wheel is a masterpiece. Is that custom? what model Momo is it?

What's is the price range for these MZR Z's? I have a fully restored 73 Z myself but love the retro/modern look of these.

Gorgeous, curious what this cost?

Beautiful job ! How much weight was saved with the carbon body ?

I'm a few minutes, and did I hear you right? It takes 2-3 years wait time for delivery of a commission? Not to be diminutive but MZR is a great rising auto house and I have been a fan but are they on the level of Singer Design to have that long of a wait time?

Still manual windows? I would prefer electric windows but that’s being very picky on such a beautiful piece of art

Love the color. Is it an OEM color or custom?

How much is one of these?

1971 240z curb weight 1044kg.. Thought yours would have snuck under the 1 tonne being all carbon body? p.s. i have a 73 240 and a 70 datsun 2000

You know there’s a company in Florida that make a DOHC head for the L24/26/28 engine.

Man, your Datsun really looks very expensive because the bright colour, the rims, and overall interior I always like the design of this car, it is mix between casual and aggressive (in my opinion) it is also very simple There is one in my province and it cost around $5400, i will get it soon or later, amen 👍

Sounds way better than any screaming ferrari

why did he sell it?

Gorgeous car. But there's just no good reason not to run air cleaners on a street car.

I wish my Gran didn't sell her her 1973 yellow 240z...

I wouldn't trade my 911 for one, but...well maybe?

all that salt

It’s nice but an MST escort is even nicer

Nice. 944 is better

Build your own thats half the fun ar least! I love telling people when they ask me...Is this your car its awesome man! I love answering them Yes its mine I built it!!!
