It's an 03 UK GT spec with all the trimmings, 55kon the clock, owned by two previous 350z uk owners.

I wasn't really planning on buying so soon, I was still saving and would have been looking to buy in around 6 months time however, this came up at a cracking price and just 20mins up the road too.

Ended up paying 7.5k which to be honest I cant really believe, part of me thinks its too good to be true but it's been checked out, had 3 long test drives, HPI'd and all that jazz and every things perfect. Just passed it's MOT last week with no advisories. For peace of mind im going to stick it through a P3 service, guy also gave me a set of plugs worth around £100 so they will also be getting replaced as they are due at around now.

I managed to haggle him down for 8.5k, just a little scratch on the front bumper and some stone chips which I will be getting sorted soon and the Rays could do with a refurb however I may hold out for a while and just buy a set of Rota GTR's or something. Spare key is missing and I'll look into getting a new one.

For now I'll be ordering a JWT popcharger but plan to keep the rest pretty much stock, may look into a Miltek as the system in a while, gets a good write up for the zed, don't quite think I could stretch to a Nismo system. Chuffed to bits as it is, sounds glorious and drives brilliantly.

Anyway, on with the pics.

Such a nice car, if only they were 4 seaters though!!


It's not an S reg btw.
 
I probably would have been tempted to get one of these over the Focus ST I brought but i just know having only 2 seats would annoy the hell out of me and prove very inconvenient.

Lovely car though. Am jealous. :p
 
Thank's guys, in credit to previous owners they have kept the paint work immaculate using quality products and plently of elbow grease.

Jono8, I almost bought an ST not long ago but really thinking about it it's not often I have passengers in the rear seats so thought fek it and started looking at the zed's.

Click to expand...

Neither do I!

But i just knew it would annoy me eventually.

there is only a little bit of regret in me about not getting the Z after seeing your thread...:(:p

To be honest i think it was because i wanted something a bit newer aswell.

Oh well, maybe one day.

It doesn't actually look bad in the flesh, the interior shots were taken on a camera phone and it looks quite washed out. I'll get some decent pics up soon.

Cant fault the ST Jono8, it's a cracking motor.
