At risk of impeachment and other repercussions from the following
statement, I will offer that the early 240Z is one heck of a fun car to
drive. Kind of half-way between a GT6 and an E-type Coupe'. Also not a
bad-looking car at all (once you get past the diamond-pleating on some of
the interior -- not the car's best feature). And, there are "licensed"
Hitachi-SU carburetors to make a Triumph owner feel at home under the
hood. 

As a counterpoint to the above, I will offer that one might wish to ignore
ANY model after the original 240Z: 260, 280, ZX, ANY 2+2.... ;-)
