Again, the cars you are pointing at are not part of the 'Masterpieces' program. Will it ever sink in? Will you sail blithely on by once again? Probably...

This is one of those examples of how your unstoppable urge to dominate leads you to make simple obvious errors. The car is in the "Masterpieces" section of the web site. Is it an error on the web designer's part? It's not supposed to be there?

Now you're suddenly classiczcars' very own Walter Winchell.

Thank you.

The car that SpeedRoo was talking about is also in the Masterpieces "museum". Once again...

Wow you make this too easy RAE! Which factory are they making it correct to, certainly not Nissan. Look at the underside of the white December 1970 240Z https://s30.world/collection/datsun-240z-hls30-15652-us nothing like that ever came out of the factory. Look under the front cowling over the windscreen wiper motors and ventilation, never seen that finish from the factory, it's usually gray undercoat beneath that panel. What happened to all the chipseal the factory applied under the car that was then covered with overspray when the final paint was applied. That's a factory correct restoration when you see that, not all this shiny stuff.

Find out and/or tell us which car is going up on BaT and let people go to town. It's going to happen anyway.

I've realized what part of the problem might be. They don't actually show any "Restorations". They talk about the restoration process, and use the words "as they left the factory" or something like that, here and there on the site, but never actually say "here is a restored car". The Restorations sub-menu only shows Masterpieces, with Masterpieces, Icons and Heroes in the "museum". There is no Restored sub-menu. And they left some "outs" on the Masterpieces page. So, which is it - are Masterpieces restored or not? Can't tell from the ad copy. Highlights are mine.

Overall, it looks like they do typical "get as close you can" restorations. Not "as they left the factory". Still looks like an exciting endeavor. Very interesting. The overpromising is the problem. Probably that marketing guy's fault.

"Masterpieces
S30s restored in detail. We are proud to have some of the first built LHD S30s in our collection. These include HLS30-00022 and 23, in addition several restored and unrestored 1969 produced S30s. We also brought to life some (as yet) unknown stars, such as cars with EU specifications and also with Portuguese specifications for living."

Removing some garbage graphics

Actually, the problem is that the web site is inconsistent. They do say that the Masterpeices are factory correct restorations. Then they say something different in the Museum.

S30.world launches “The Masterpieces program”

"A celebration of Nissans S30 platform

A limited-run of factory-correct restorations of the iconic Datsun 240Z will become available, with the first one to be sold at auction in the United States on October 23rd 2025.

This unique program is focused on the full, factory-accurate restoration of Datsun 240Zs, also known by the S30 chassis code, to a level of detail that makes them identical to how they left the production line over 50 years ago."
