The 240Z was a landmark in automotive history. By the time the first generation Z-cars came to an end in 1978, everyone around the world knew the name Datsun.Here is the full story of the ZX series from the 280ZX - introduced as the second generation Z-car in 1978 - through to the 300ZX of 1999.The 240Z and 260Z were pure sports cars, but the 280ZX represented the evolution of the Z-car into a Grand Tourer. This evolution continued through two generations of 300ZX and the Z became a true supercar with state-of-the-art engineering features.This book contains a great deal of new information for enthusiasts in the West, as Japanese models have been covered in detail for the first time. Photographs and other illustrations have been sourced almost exclusively from the factory and therefore illustrate the cars in original detail.Datsun Z, also by Brian Long and Veloce, is a complementary book.

The book follows the story of the car named after Enzo''s son from its first appearance in 1965 as a styling exercise, through to the last production car, built in 1973.Although not the fastest or the most powerful Ferrari, the beautiful lines of the Dino have inspired generations of enthusiasts. This book provides the definitive chronicle of the Dino, from Pininfarina concept car through to the final production model, and is illustrated throughout with contemporary material.The production cars for the US and European markets are looked at in year-by-year detail, so that all variants are described.

Researched and written in Japan with the full co-operation of the factory, here in definitive detail is the story of the Honda S2000 - a series of open two-seaters that built on the success of the NSX, helping the company justify its on-track exploits with a proper line of sporting machinery.Successful immediately, the S2000 models defended Honda''s honour on the tracks, but it was in the showrooms where the S2000 excelled. After a major face-lift, it was eventually killed off in 2009, but is as popular today as it ever was as a modern classic for enthusiasts.
