Wearing a coat of White Pearl and parked at San Galgano Abbey.
My Fairlady! No Rex Harrison or Audrey Hepburn in sight... but Paul Newman did drive the earlier Z31 version on the track.
The Fairlady name was/is used only in Japan where it had begun with the Fairlady Z in 1970. Elsewhere it was known as Nissan 300 ZX.
And the Z32 is the second reincarnation of the Nissan 300 ZX, the first being the Z31 which actor Paul Newman drove on a race track.
The Z32 itself appeared in 1989.
Nissan however soon hit a black patch and the Z disappeared.
When Carlos Ghosn became president of Nissan, he announced the return of the Z.
However, the new Z looks nothing like the old Z.
The letter "X" in ZX denotes "increasing luxury" the car being not just a sports car but a luxury GT.
And some more now - at Superspeedway Indy.
