This car has long been overdue. In fact, the Tomica Limited Vintage series would not be complete without this iconic Japanese car. I have long been waiting for Tomica to release this and I must say, it was worth the wait.
The details that they have put in this car says it all. A far cry from their earlier releases. The 240z was released in the United States in 1970. It started out in October 1969 with two versions. One for the JDM (Japanese domestic market) and one to be exported to the United States.
The Japanese Fairlady Z had a 2.0 SOHC (single overhead cam) inline-6 engine, which produced 130hp, while the Fairlady Z which was exported to America, was equiped with a 2.4 liter engine with twin carburetors that produced 151hp. Nissan also released the Z432 which was equiped with a 2.0 DOHC (double overhead cam) engine which was also used for the Nissan Skyline. The Fairlady Z took over a market dominated by British sporting cars. It is reliable, good looking, cheap, and it drove like how a sports car should. The 240z, which is the original Z car, outsold the Jaguar E-type and became very popular in the United States.
