Petrolicious drops its newest feature video, this time indulging the Japanese vintage sports car fans around the world with a mint example of the Nissan Fairlady 240ZL. Owner Glenn Chiou, sourcing parts from the Datsun Competition catalog, meticulously rebuilt the right-hand drive import whose roots have created the 350Z and 370Z seen on the roads today. Jay further explains the history of the 2-seater, educating upon its racing history, design cues, and more because “it’s important to understand where the roots come from.” His appreciation of the analog nature of the vehicle speaks volumes on how car owners should respect their cars and the car scene in general — check out the video above and share your thoughts on the matter in our comments section.
