Datsun 240Z, 1972. Two owners, 153,245 km.

Nissan spent years pretending it had no idea what it was sitting on. Then, in 1969, sports cars suddenly rolled into the showroom that looked as though they had been penned by an Italian, yet had the reliability of a Japanese wristwatch. A long bonnet, two seats, a straight-six with twin carburettors, and a price tag that nearly made rivals in Stuttgart and Modena choke on their espresso. The Datsun 240Z. The East politely asking whether Europe might kindly step aside.

The story continues on our website, where the full file is kept as well. The service history, scanned in full. Paint thickness measured panel by panel. The original factory brochure to page through. A timeline from 4 July 1972 to today, with every owner and the mileage year by year in a single graph.

Every car here follows the same route: first pre-market, then the showroom, and finally the online auction on our own website. What changes is the way you buy, not the location — once a car has arrived, it stays with us in Katwijk. This one is in pre-market: just acquired by us, and currently with us for photography, documentation and technical inspection. It is not in the showroom yet, and not anywhere else online. You can secure it now, ahead of everyone else.

Prefer a different colour or specification than this example? Tell us what you are looking for — another Datsun we can often find through our network of marque specialists and collectors, outside the listings. Have one of your own: we buy exceptional cars outright, classic or modern.

Our showroom measures 6,000 m², with over 150 cars under one roof. You are just as welcome if you are not buying — walk around, take your time and enjoy the cars; sharing the enthusiasm is half of it.
