I havent seen this posted anywhere on here:

Carl B, do you have in on your VIN records?

No, Carl doesn't have it listed. Nice video. I see a number of non original parts that would have to be replaced if it was restored back to "original". In the video, the guy says he would have the car shipped off to a knowledgeable Z expert and I agree. The car needs many things.

I worked with the show host, Tom Cotter, on a number of media events staged by a European manufacturer back in the late 1990's. Nice guy. Very knowledgeable, very enthusiastic, and seemed to know just about everyone in the business. Odd, in hindsight, that I don't remember us ever talking about Datsun and the Z (I had two at the time).

Pretty close to your numbers 26th, interesting to see it is silver and not green.

According to Zhome, 20th is silver and black. So is 19th and 17th. 22nd is blue and black.

One of the first things I noticed in the video is that the hood (bonnet) is a later example with the reinforced corners. Makes me wonder.

At the top of my list is that it does not have the 2400 valve cover. Did they talk about if the engine was original or not? Between the over 100K miles, the carbs, the fan, and the valve cover, I'm thinking not.

So it's a historic car, but it would be a huge project. And the biggest hurdle to getting it to top level would be if the engine had been replaced and the original is not available.
