If possible, please congratulate him on behalf of all enthusiasts around the world. 😎👍🏻 Probably an overused word by now, but this is a masterpiece! 👏🏻😃
My mom had a 280Z when I was in high school. She used to race against Corvettes and Jaguars regularly. I had it out a few times myself. That is still one of my favorite cars even today. Seeing someone put the effort into bringing back the 240s at this level is awesome.
It's sad that so many 240z 260 etc were junked back in the days. They were everywhere in the 80s cause they were inexpensive small economy 70s cars. So one broke down / wrecked , junk it buy another. Find one now and they are pretty pricey.
MZR will come to be known as the Singer of the Z community. Exquisite craftsmanship and pure dedication to tasteful enhancements that embody the S30 in its perfect form. I can only hope to restore and modify my 260z to this level. Simply outstanding.
That dash and console are simply gorgeous and don't overpower the build by trying to be too modern. What a gorgeous car. I had no idea how fortunate we are in America to have nearly 90% of the original Z cars here. Kudos to the builders and the UK owners!
I am loving this. This company in the U.K. found the perfect balance between performance, originality and tastefulness with the old Z. They went and made it into something an owner would’ve loved back then when they were new, as well as something that could be loved equally as much by an owner today. It really is something special.
How is it that Hagerty's video production quality is better than top gear?! Their cinematography is absolutely amazing. I especially like the "on the bonnet" shot of the driver from outside of the car.
@@Alby911 It's not just the techniques. It's order and the way they use the techniques. Top gear's editing has also been choppy in recent years. I also follow a bunch of car channels and none of them use the on the bonnet view from outside of the car while the presenter is talking
@@arianawoosley2841 The bonnet view has been done to death, it offers nothing out of the ordinary. At the end of the day, great cars sell themselves irrespective of how fancy the cinematography is.
I’d argue this is better. Top Gear has gotten a bit too flashy and noisy. Also decent cameras, lenses and other equipment like drones (no longer helicopters) are a now small fraction of what they cost back when Top Gear was spending millions on production back in the early 2000’s to set the standard.
I am fortunate to a 240Z with a Rebello engine that makes similar power to the engine in the video, with Recaro seats, upgraded suspension, and modern brakes from Z Car Garage in San Jose, California. The look, sound, and driving experience are simply amazing. Long live the Z
I love it when someone gets to experience a well put together Z for the first time. Yes it is a wonderful drivers car and MZR seems to have done a great job.
Henry's reviews are top-notch, but we know that already. The consistency though is something else, such a poetic approach in every video that makes you feel like you're watching a high-end (production-wise) movie that never gets old. Congratulations once again Henry, mesmerizing work!!
As I child in the 70's I can easily remember the 1st time I saw a Z. It was loaded on a car carrier and tilted so you almost had an overhead view. Quite impactful.
In original form the 240Z is a stunning car, beautifully proportioned .... An MZR car is next level. That engine .... Wow. This is the sort of cottage industry we do so well in Britain. My 15 year old son is 240Z crazy, has been for years and dreams of having an MZR car. I can see why. What incredible creations, congratulations to the whole team for having the foresight and Kahuna's for going it alone with what in the UK was not a car we saw a lot of.
Thank you for bringing attention to the people, the cars and the businesses like MZR . Those 240s put out by MZR are absolute works of art. Just beautiful.
@@danielbrealey2924 did I miss something? Edit: I just saw that other post. It didn't show up until I went back to the posted comments. Your reply showed up in my notifications, the scammer didn't.
You are one lucky, lucky man Mr. Catchpole. What a car. Nearly perfect for our North American roads - fast, nimble, sounds amazing, but not so absurdly rapid that you can't use it on public roads without losing your license. I love it.
❤ one of my very first true sports cars (following a bunch of American small blocks, a handful of Mazda Rotary’s, and enough British sheet metal to hail Lucas: The Inventors of Dark). My many 240, 260 and 280Z’s are still loving memories. Wish I had the foresight to have garaged them back in the day. I could retire on those alone.
Finally a 240z done right. I loved the original, I bought mine in April 1971, drove it and kept it nice for 20+ years. I even bought it back once before I let it go for good. While it was a wonderful drivers car back then I know it would feel and drive like a 50 year old car now. But these MZR’s are truly a 2022 interpretation of what the 240z was in the 70’s. Kudos to MZR.
The 240Z is still one of the most beautiful cars ever built. Back in the 1980’s you could pick them up for almost nothing and now they’re like gold, as with many other classics. What a machine!
My wife had just bought a new 73 240Z / automatic when we met. Great handling little car. A lot of maintenance. Even the dealer couldn't keep it running right because of the emissions and carbs. I was a truck mechanic and not real interested in fussing with it every month. I would do points and plugs every so often and that would improve it for a while. In 1990 we sold it for $3,000 and considering she'd paid $5,500 for it that was a pretty good return. Bought a 5.0 hatchback. She drove it for a week and said either make this car handle like my 240Z or take it back. So, we did the subframes the shocks the whole deal. The mustang came with 273 gears we put 355s in it. She was happy then although I think the z would have still taken the mustang in the corners. But the mustang did have the muscle. We had the mustang for 24 years. She kept it showroom fresh! I still think the 240z is a beautiful car if I had one to redo today it would be the z. You can get past the emissions in the carbs and make the thing a runner. Just a stunning car.
Really enjoyed this piece, a little garage in Bradford knocking out cars like that brings a big smile to my face. I’ve no doubt they’ve had a few more phone calls since this release
Brilliant film, folks. My dad was a 240Z owner and even though he got rid of his Z when us kids came a long we’ve always appreciated them in my family. I love that Evo unit. Amazing sound and gorgeous looks too!
Little slice of Tokyo in the middle of United Kingdoms. UK and Japan; both love motorsports. Both have royal families. Both used to have powerful navy. Both love their railroads during their industrialization. Both are island nations. Both are democracies. Both drive on the left side of the road. Both have castles. Both have historical sites.
I've always loved the 240Z, it's an absolute classic and a great story about a miniscule company in Bradford. Well done guys. I just wish I could afford one.
The people that restored this one, wow it's so BEAUTIFUL! Green and orange looks so good together. Green cars for life. Amazing video too, love watching it wind down British roads.
I have wanted a 240 Z since I was 11 years old (1973) and was lucky enough to be able to buy an original RHD matching numbers UK car about 6 months ago. To say this was a watershed moment for me would be a massive understatement. The car is incredible to look at, to listen to and to drive and everyone who sees it loves it. I was aware of MZR from a few years ago but this review makes my mouth water with what they could do with our Z……!! Now I just have to persuade my brother to take trip to Bradford😊😊
My Dad had three "Z's" back in the early 70's in the USA, he ordered 3 because you could order from Datsun, then sell the day after delivery for a profit. One was a very pale lime green, one white and one brown. He sold the Brown, planted the white one into a tree and kept the green one he loved so much!! RIP Dad.
My word. This car....looks absolutely AMAZING.....I'd love this car as a personal car. Epitomy of a restomod done right based on what I'm seeing. Given some roads in Jamaica, I'd definitely go a bit softer on the suspension, but oh my word this car is poetry and art in motion. Beautiful. Good job MZR.....well...amazing job is more fitting.....
Loved the 240s. My older brother and my uncle had them. And my dad helped a friend install a smal block in one. Amazing cars. And I also found it very refreshing to watch an adult Hagerty car review, not the usual with the juvenile "jokes" and snide remarks. I hope to see more structured this was.
I owned a 74 240Z w/a 260 motor which had been modified a bit by the previous owner. I was 21 and didn't know my ass from a hole in the ground when it came to driving or mechanical stuff but...I did love the car. It was so much fun to drive and it was beautiful. I traded my brother for a motorcycle and he sold it back to the guy I bought it from who regretted selling it. : )
the 240Z is such a beautiful car to begin with , it really does well as a blank canvas to modernize them. I own a 71 that I’ve restomodded yet left it looking close to the original design. I can’t drive it anywhere without people wanting to ask me about it or tell me their story of owning one. Kinda makes all the money and time I’ve spent on it worth it in the end😎
Quality of the work definitely comes through in the video. A friend had a 280Z he and his dad did up. Said that one reviewer of the car commented that the front of the car was nailed to the road, whereas the rear wasn't. He found that out exiting a roundabout and ended up going backwards into the barrier. More restoration work was then required...
Always wanted a 240Z , my father had a Bluebird 411 four door back in the 60's.That little car flew on the open roads of Australia. Datsun was a brand that was very popular downunder.
My uncle had a yellow 240 back in about 76, it was the only custom z’s for miles around. In that time it was still a car that was not on most people’s radar, my uncles was a super up original 6 with flared fenders and a whale tail, it was beautifully odd then.
@@brarautorepairs Not in every way, safety is certainly better than the original but nowhere near the modern day production car :) But yeah, it‘s a thing of beauty, the lines, simplicity and the character of the original but with amazing quality parts. Warms my heart to see people still put in the work to create things like that.
@@Random_Banshee Even safety wise, I see it as an upgrade from the factory. New cars have more safety features but from a driver's perspective, the old Z would be fun to drive
That car is absolutely incredible. And although expensive, it's attainable by a lot more people than some of the other restomod creations that are out there which cost a million dollars or more, some several million. This car is absolute bargain for what they do to these automobiles. I would love to have one of these bad boys sitting next to my 370Z in my garage.
The design brief was the front of an E-type, rear of an Aston and size of a 911, But these guys take a very special car and make it an truly awesome car.
Damn, I would buy one in a heartbeat. I would just want one with a dark brown leather interior and more… performance-ish looking seats. Maybe even have it in black and have rims with a silver dish while the spokes bronze or gold-ish
I sold them new off the show room floor In Salt Lake City, Utah. My first impression was that of a very cheaply made car. Regularly the center horn button would fall off, that along with the door handles and window lift handles. The hub caps also spent more time racing ahead of the car than in place on the steel wheels. Sold far more 210’s. Can only say good on ya for buying up all the USA 240’s, brilliant work.
How to make Bradford look respectful... 3 second clip of Saltaire, then film the rest outside of Bradford! Nice car and pleasant owner, great workmanship.
Awesome cars and they are actually lovely people, so hard working and I would say the cars show that. I am glad they are finally getting some serious recognition
Interesting that the 240 is a rare car in the UK it probably would have sold a lot better there than it did in the States as it was a love letter to the Euro sports cars of the time.
Absolutely brilliant video Henry as usual. Glad to see this company getting some well deserved recognition, they seem to have been working quietly underground for so long, but producing cars of this exceptional quality. I would definitely be giving them a call if I ever won the Lotto, seeing the cars and how they are finished, the price even seems like a sort of bargain. Was I right in hearing Henry say that they are going to put a RB engine into a car? That will be something else!! Continued success to everyone involved.
I've had the good fortune of seeing one of these creations up close. (Lion Rock commission). Easy to see that the people who build these cars are passionate and highly capable. Stunning attention to detail! Keep up the great work.
I’m so proud of my dad being a part of such an amazing company! MZR is making history! 🎉 - brilliant review!
You should, magnificent effort 👏
If possible, please congratulate him on behalf of all enthusiasts around the world. 😎👍🏻
Probably an overused word by now, but this is a masterpiece! 👏🏻😃
Give that man a hug for me!! He's doing god's work!
After I'm done saving the world, I'd love to work in this shop. Would be a dream.
What they’re doing really is something special.
You boys are gonna need a bigger factory after this video. Singer levels of desire. Magnificent.

In a world where the number of 911 restomods surpasses the amount of 911's ever built by Porsche, this is a breath of fresh air.
Amen Sir!!
That doesn't make sense
@@ArtVandelayOfficial yes it does

One of the cleanest, smartest resto mod builds I've seen, and I've seen many of them. Makes me wanna skip across the big pond and go visit them.
Yes, super clean!

I just swooped up a ‘78 280z three months ago. It’s in great shape and has the 5 speed transmission. I’m grateful.
The only car I’ve ever wanted was a 240z, and I’ve just recently discovered your channel. This is heaven.

Man I can't wait to finish my 240z
This car can be summed up in 3 seconds;
4:04 - 4:07
From throttle tip in, to engine roar, to an instant and genuine chuckle of happiness.
what a work of art. These mad lads will be the next Singer. Congrats Gents!!!!
Must say, This is really a very impressive work!
Congratulations to the builder.
I love that!!! As always impeccable Review from wonderful talented journalist Evo Magazine
I had a 370hp 240Z 10 years ago 😊 was a fantastic car.
The color palette that MZR chooses for their cars is perfect.
Yes, do you know the name of the color by any chance?
Been a fan of these guys for a few years now, one day I'll be able to afford/justify one of their restomods🔥
The 240Z was as a kid one of my favorite cars and even today it is timeless. fantastic looking car

cool classic man, love it

For 100k?
@@Treaxvour If I had the money, hell yeah!
I sold them new off the show room floor In Salt Lake City, Utah. My first impression was that of a very cheaply made car. Regularly the center horn button would fall off, that along with the door handles and window lift handles. The hub caps also spent more time racing ahead of the car than in place on the steel wheels. Sold far more 210’s. Can only say good on ya for buying up all the USA 240’s, brilliant work.
It always was a beautiful car but these are stunning. Timeless.
Imagine a 240Z restomod with Nismo GT-R R35 engine in it. That would be epic!
How to make Bradford look respectful...
3 second clip of Saltaire, then film the rest outside of Bradford!
Nice car and pleasant owner, great workmanship.
Fantastic. I had a 240 a long long time ago in South Africa. Not the funds to fix it at the time. Amazing looking car.
Wow, wow, wow. That's completely epic. Looks amazing and it sounds incredible! What a magnificent car! Amazing work MKR! 👏
Awesome cars and they are actually lovely people, so hard working and I would say the cars show that.
I am glad they are finally getting some serious recognition
Interesting that the 240 is a rare car in the UK it probably would have sold a lot better there than it did in the States as it was a love letter to the Euro sports cars of the time.
Gosh you guys have stepped it up. Glorious cinematic production of a spectacular restomod 👏
I had a 72Z, a 73Z and currently a 75Z would love to add that "Carbon Zed" to the collection...
Absolutely brilliant video Henry as usual.
Glad to see this company getting some well deserved recognition, they seem to have been
working quietly underground for so long, but producing cars of this exceptional quality.
I would definitely be giving them a call if I ever won the Lotto, seeing the cars and how they are finished,
the price even seems like a sort of bargain.
Was I right in hearing Henry say that they are going to put a RB engine into a car?
That will be something else!!
Continued success to everyone involved.
I've had the good fortune of seeing one of these creations up close. (Lion Rock commission). Easy to see that the people who build these cars are passionate and highly capable. Stunning attention to detail! Keep up the great work.
Beautiful. Really like these restomods.
Great production Henry and team. No price leaves me thinking out of reach of most people who might want one.
You would be surprised, obviously they get up there in price but I have seen sun 100k MZR builds
These restomods are what dreams are made of. Keep it up, Hags!
