I do not know if this is a repost, but there is a 7 minutes videos on the history of the Z..

Don't know how accurate it is, but the video is cool

First time I've seen that, and I was pleased to see them clearly make the point that this was ".....in America."

Couple of annoying bits though; Do people still believe that Yutaka Katayama went down to the port with a bucketful of '240Z' badges ( where did they suddenly appear from? ) and a screwdriver, and started prising 'Fairlady' badges off of newly imported cars? Pfffft!.........

And what was Johnnie Gable's Pinin Farina anecdote all about? Is she saying that Katayama and Pinin Farina 'designed' the S30-series Z in Katayama's office after a bit of wistful admiration of Jaguar's E-Type?

She was sitting in front of Katayama's old G-Nose fronted HLS30-U, and pointed to the front of it as part of her anecdote. So was she saying that Katayama and Pinin Farina came up with the styling of the 'G-Nose' and the whole S30-series Z, or just the 'G-Nose' part of it?

Wrong ( should I be polite and say 'mistaken'? ) on both counts, I'd say.

Everybody want's a piece of it, don't they?
