Nissan Fairlady 280z

The Z that started a generational obsession.

When the Z arrived in 1969, Europe’s sports car makers didn’t see it coming. It had a long bonnet, a smooth inline-six and a price far below what the competition charged, and it became one of the best-selling sports cars of its era. The 280Z was the later evolution, with a bigger 2.8-litre six and fuel injection, and it kept the classic long-nose, fastback shape that made the original famous.

This one comes in blue, and it’s 339 pieces built to the real car’s long-bonnet, short-tail proportions. Not a generic classic shape wearing a Nissan badge.

This isn’t an officially licensed Nissan product. It’s a brick-built tribute, designed by people who actually care whether the proportions are right.
