The Nissan 350Z Roadster is a proper driver’s car, combining rear-wheel drive, a six-speed manual gearbox and a muscular, naturally aspirated 3.5-litre V6.

From the moment the engine fires, the 350Z feels alive. The deep V6 soundtrack is music to a motoring enthusiast’s ears, while the manual gearbox and rear-wheel-drive layout keep the driver firmly involved. Drop the electrically operated roof, select first gear and the experience becomes all about the road ahead.

Finished in classic metallic silver over a black two-seat interior, this colour combination perfectly suits the car’s purposeful styling. A modern full-screen Grundig sound system is a welcome addition, although the V6 remains the soundtrack most drivers will want to hear.

With 110,262 km indicated, this 350Z Roadster offers an exciting, open-top driving experience with genuine Japanese performance-car character.

Not to be missed before the auction hammer falls.
