I like your taste in clock faces 🙂 Video reminds me of:

Cool Info. Here is another Euro car with the same rear bumper lights and spoiler. Hubcaps indicate >1971 @siteunseen's friend.

I believe @26th-Z posted the cool French version once. It makes sense not to have white lights facing backwards as there is a risk (very small) that another driver could perceive it has two headlights from a car much further away.

There are at least 2 styles of fender (wing) mirrors. A rectangular one seems common in Australia yet a rounder one in Japan: And the triple mirror mystery (3 types):

"I like his barber"

Autovise No4 1971 (Feb?) Dutch auto magazine. More fender blinkers This seems to be same car as in the PEP magazine above.

Those odd blinkers: PEP (Dutch Comic Magazine Issue #7 Feb 1971)

Here is a 240z in Brussels in Jan 1970. It shows up again in London in October. It has the fender mirrors and only 2 side markers. Here is 240z in Geneva in March 1970. No fender mirror and 4 side markers. Here is the same as the Brussels one above. This one is in Amsterdam in 1971 with rear spoiler and probably just 2 side markers. It would be nice to see what is going on with the fenders. It looks a lot like your photo and is the same year and continent 🙂 Note it has no rear bumperettes and the rubber wraps all the way around as @kats mentioned a while ago when we looked in detail at an early prototype. I'll Hover around and see what I find.

Here is another three Z's with the blanked under bumper turn indicators (and bumper mounted ones) like the one above: First two are in France, 3rd in Germany. Bonus is a prototype in Japan (possibly a HP Prince I6? Interesting exhaust pipes 🙂 )

@HS30-H Alan knows these things 🙂

Heat soak. The proximity of the exhaust manifold causes the fuel to evaporate. Add a heat shield and also change your fuel routing so that the fuel recirculates rather than dead-heads and you should notice an improvement.

Just using some today on a guitar resto... a truly Canadian colour to a Japanese copy of a British Vox Teardrop that was made in Italy. Yellows and Greens

Reference May 1970, 21,000 miles

It is rendered.

Hoovered a few more:

Well not a Datsun but it made be vomit in 1 sec so I figured we needed an ugly reference:
