Patrick,
The story I got back in '71 was that it was a Heale and an XKE coupe that
reproduced the 240Z. There was another story that it was 2 Healey's but still
a XKE Jag coupe.
The Japanesse were very well known for copying technologies and design from
other companies and our politicians were powerless/helpless to stop them
thanks to Lobbyests.

G'day All
If you have a few minutes to spare you might like to have a look at an
article I prepared some years back. It's at:

Actually it was two 3000s and not 3. Whether they used them for study I am
not sure, but given the Nissan (Datsun) connection beforehand I wouldn't be
surprised.
