2011 NISSAN 370Z ROADSTER - 25,733 MILES

This Nissan 370Z Roadster is a highly original and well-maintained example of the Japanese marque’s convertible sports car. Under the bonnet lies a 3.7-litre petrol V6 producing 323bhp and 270lb-ft of torque, allied to a six-speed manual transmission. The odometer reads just 25,733 miles from new.

First registered on 25 November 2011, this 370Z is a UK-market example with three owners from new. The current vendor is an enthusiast who has owned the car for the past three years, having purchased it from a main dealer in Hertfordshire. It remains in highly original condition throughout, with the only deviations from standard being upgraded air filters. The original items have been retained for the next buyer should they wish to refit them.

In its stylish factory hue of Black Cherry, the paint finish on this voluptuous roadster remains in very good condition. A small sign of lacquer damage is visible on the driver’s side front bumper, while a light scuff is also visible on the tailgate next to the driver’s side rear light. Some stone chips are also visible to the front end, but the 370Z remains in excellent order overall, reflecting its low mileage to date.

The electrically operated soft top powers up and down correctly, latching to the body well when closed. Its seals are free of damage, while the roof itself presents in superb condition. Riding on the original factory-fit 19-inch Rays Engineering alloy wheels, these remain in great condition, with only a handful of minor kerbing marks visible on the left rear wheel.

Inside, the Nissan’s hardwearing interior is in great shape. The half-leather, electrically cooled and heated seats present very well, with the only real signs of use confined to the bolsters and mesh back panel of the driver’s seat. The leather steering wheel and gear knob are also free of damage, while the infotainment system remains functional and blemish-free.

This example is well-specified, with a reversing camera, electrically adjustable seats, air-conditioning, Bose speakers, cruise control and Bluetooth phone connectivity among the highlights. All switchgear is in full working order, with a handy luggage shelf behind the occupants and a wind deflector adding to the 370Z’s daily driver practicality.

The most recent maintenance was carried out in January 2021 by West Way Nissan. This was a scheduled service at 25,729 miles, comprising of an oil change. Prior to this, the Nissan was serviced in December 2019 at 23,988 miles by the same garage, with Norton Way Nissan also seeing the car in January of that year at 21,832 miles.

The most recent MOT test was on 15 January 2021 at 25,724 miles. This was a first-time pass, with replacement of both front tyres recommended by the MOT tester. It is testament to the excellent overall condition of this example that is it yet to ever fail an MOT test. Shod in matching Bridgestone Potenza tyres, the vendor estimates these to be approximately 60% worn, and should be replaced ahead of the next MOT by the buyer.

This Nissan 370Z Roadster is an attractive alternative to its traditional German competitors, with a broad-chested, naturally-aspirated V6 soundtrack, beguiling looks and Japanese reliability to boot. While it could just as well be used as a daily driver, it is perhaps destined to become a summer road trip toy, or a shrewd investment for storage as a future modern classic.
