Justthejedi Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I was driving north bound on the M6 toll today, got to the booth and was pleasantly surprised when the lady complimented my car, "wow, you don't see many of these around!" For her to say that as she's sat in her booth seeing hundreds of cars a day, they must be getting rare. Good stuff! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I do a lot of motorway miles and can go days without seeing one, went to Worcester and back yestreday from Surrey, not one Zed of any description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I do a lot of motorway miles and can go days without seeing one, went to Worcester and back yestreday from Surrey, not one Zed of any description. I haven't seen another 350 Zed for about two weeks now nor any 370's. The last 350 I saw was in my street as a guy who's parents live up the road from me had just bought one & was back from Uni (he's now a member on here too ).

JurassicZ Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) I have seen 3 350Zs around here in the last week and just had a weekend away at Tortworth Hall in the Cotswolds and there was a 13 reg Black Nismo in the car park ( Bournmouth dealers stickers), but could not work out who the owner was. Must get around to doing a spotted tonight. Edited June 18, 2015 by 350ZRDev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I've seen one '50 and absolutely no '70s and I'm now in an area where a fair number of members are based. That said, all but 0.5 miles of my commute is through tunnels these days so that might explain it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwanprice12 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 After seeing bugger all much in the last two years, they seem to have bred dramatically around this area! Seen a fair few recently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraziekatz1 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Not seen any for a while either. Surely the roadsters are out in force? Every other cars seems to have it's roof down at the moment! Maybe it's because when you park a zed in the sun you burn your bum on the leather and scold your hand on your rather nice, shiny aftermarket gear knob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durk Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/nissan_350z According to that there are around 5.5k on the road... Not many at all when you think about it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wiltshire Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Think I've only seen about 4 different 350z's in total around here. Seem to go through phases of spotting them and then not spotting one for a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZedManTID Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 4 years of ownership and I've seen about 5 different ones locally in that time. They definitely are a rare beast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumzo Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 One pulled up outside next to mine tonight delivering chinese food to my neighbours. It did surprise me a little. Yes, his was 06 but mine looked nicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenley Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 The engines under 500cc are showing the Kawasaki Z350 by mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many at all when you think about it! Don't forget to add this category for the 350:- https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/nissan_350z_gran_turismo_4 And this list too as there is a gap between 350 & z!!! https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/nissan_350_z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack wellZ Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I did 4 trips down the m25 and m40 today to go to japex and back both times, and not one 350 until I arrived at japex but none driving. Bmws everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I do 800 miles a week and believe it or not I don't ever see a single Zed. The only sunset I used to see was one leaving chiswick in London maybe once in a blue moon. Don't even see him now (non-member). In fact it's got to be 2 months since I've seen my Zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, I did a 250 mile round trip yesterday and didn't see one zed. I see more GTR's to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Brede Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I live and work in Peterborough and I've seen 2 other Gunmetal 350z in the car park at work as well as my own and a white 370z just around the corner from where I live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
