It won the 2011 Datsun Register WA People’s Choice Best Z award, as well as the Colin Schipp People’s Choice for Best Datsun Z award at the 2024 Datsuns in the Park event.
The odometer shows 7,560 miles, however this is not warranted, and the car’s true mileage is not known.

Real purchase experiences from buyers across the Australia.
Fully satisfied. Very honest communication, clear payment instructions, and the vehicle arrived exactly as described. The whole process felt organized and professional.
Just closed on our second purchase through them. Smooth both times. Good updates, no confusion on documents, and delivery was handled better than expected.
Very good experience overall. The car arrived in good condition and matched the listing well. Shipping took a little longer than I first expected, but their team kept me informed the whole time.
Great experience. The support team was helpful from the beginning and made everything easy to understand. We would absolutely consider buying through them again.
I had a lot of questions before bidding and they took the time to answer all of them without rushing me. That made a big difference.
Once I won, payment instructions were clear, documents were handled properly, and the vehicle showed up looking like the photos. It felt like dealing with real people who actually cared about getting things right.
