The Ultimate Upcycled Resto Mod? Divisive Datsun 240Z with Drift mode. In this episode Jonny Smith gets under the skin (and behind the wheel) of a bespoke built classic Datsun Z that is a masterclass in upcycled modern hybrid and EV car components. There’s been many 2JZ, RB26 and LS swapped Datsun 240s, but Silent Classics (www.silentclassics.co.uk) went down the EV muscle route for boss man Jack Kerridge’s personal car. The attention to detail in exquisite.
