Yoshihiko Matsuo and the Nissan design team's S30 240Z arrived in October 1969 at a price point that undercut the Jaguar E-Type by sixty percent while offering comparable straight-line performance through a 2.4-litre SOHC inline-six. Over 150,000 units sold in the first two years in North America alone, making the S30 the best-selling sports car of its era and establishing Japanese GT credibility in a single model. Heritage Icons renders the 240Z in midnight blue three-quarter on a dark teal circular ground — the arc that frames it echoing the motions its suspension was designed to master.
