To commemorate the milestone, Bring a Trailer auctioned the company-owned 1973 Datsun 240Z, which has become well-known among the enthusiast community and a part of the BaT brand. Repainted in Lime Yellow, the 240Z has been modified with a Rebello Racing 2.7-liter straight-six, triple Weber carbs, and a five-speed manual transmission. Other features include a limited-slip differential, four-wheel disc brakes, lowered suspension, and 16-inch Panasport wheels with new Michelins.
