Rubber mats
With such an early Z, everything has to be just right. This also applies to the rubber mats, which we produced especially for it.

The HLS30-00672 was already in the Netherlands when I learned of the car's existence.
It had been bought by Mario who wanted to restore it himself, but ended up worrying about a lot of work. So after some time I was offered it. It was also in pretty good condition, with many original details. I am fascinated by early cars and how quickly the factory adapted the cars to things that came to light during testing.
The car produced in 1969 has a production date of January 1970, The 240Z has many details consistent with the first produced cars, such as the clear glass without rear window heater and the rubber mats. On the outside, the car can also be recognized as an early car by the chrome Z on the rear fenders and in the logo on the tailgate. The color 907 suits the car very well, although brown upholstery is quite special I find the combo with the black a bit more sporty. We have the ARE Libre rims in the size 14x6 with which the car was found restored and fitted with 195-70-14 tires.
During the restoration process all hardware such as bolts, nuts, hose clamps and the like were reinstalled as they should be. Where they were no longer present, it was supplemented with hardware from our stock. All components such as the matching numbers engine, gearbox, differential, starter motor, alternator etc fully restored. All parts exposed to wear have been completely reconditioned or renewed, in fact it is a completely new car, every detail whether you see it or not has been adjusted. For the upholstery, we had special vinyl made to get the right look and feel.
The car has also no vapor tank, so the tankfor this car is the least complicated one that is available. Also, the rubber mats, who were in the first +/- 1500 S30’s that came to North America, are now in the car. Additionally, the door rubbers are now installed.
