The Nissan 240z is considered a classic by some, it’s the only “original” design ie; not a copy of other makes. I don’t want to start something though.

The original 240z I first saw at the Winter Show in Wellington, the late 60s? Was tipped up slightly, in burnt orange, of course. Looked amazing. I remember my first drive in one, 100 mph out passed the Masterton rubbish dump and into to right hander, I thought is wouldn’t make it, it shuddered and shook, but we came out the other side, just! Yep close to classic

78 landcruiser on trade me (work a read actually if you want a laugh) $10K I'd be looking closely into the costs and it would have to be immaculate and very few kms. The extras (sunroof diff locks etc) could sway things on way or the other though.

Come on man give us some details

Some cars in particular you cannot get new and if you really want one then an old one is the way to go. But if you found a really good de reg one and you can also find a shitter reg one, (depending on why its a shitter) it could also be worth using the de reg one to make the shitter into a not a shitter anymore....

I would use Suzuki SJ413 as an example. If that was the car that filled you rneets you cannot register a new one here (Suzuki Farmworker) as they dont meet the new standards required for new cars. (They have barely changed anything since they first come out. So if you want one you need to buy and old still rego'd one and do it up.

They are non compliant because they lack training wheels (abs, air bags, seatbelt pre tensioners etc) Im a fan of em

So cool, I got to play with a rusty one once..... no exhaust, nearly zero brakes and it had been rolled at least once properly so no windows either and all the pillars were on the piss big time. still was a fun litttle tractor.

The reason the farmworkers stll sell OK is - They are the same price as a new Quad / ATV. Yet they have doors, windows, gearbox and a heater.......Now that they are sold as farm vehicles only there are variants that were not available for the road too..Only downside is even if it is "offroad only" and purchased for "on the farm" the NZTA wont let them be registered as a farm vehicle as it is a "passenger vehicle" Bloody paper pushers cant see past their paper and into the real world.....https://agrihq.co.nz/topic/people-an...topped-at-gate Good looking ute though.

It starts at,$300 and goes up from there

I've got a 1980 diesel flat deck landcruiser if anyone's looking for a restoration project. Unregistered.

One of my neighbors had his landcruiser registered as a tractor. Drove it to Rotorua regularly.
