They are pretty rare but so are t top 2 seaters. I talked to a guy once and ended up buying a t top 2+2 car off him, he said that someone smashed one of his t tops one day and the insurance company almost wrote off the car because they couldn't find another one.

Two seater T top short wheel base and its left hand drive and rego nz.
Manual gear box and its black.
Looks slighty different as its alot shorter than the 280Z's i know.

Ohh, you are talking about the whole car? Hard to say without knowing the condition of it, what year is it? It's probably worth a bit less being a left hand drive.

Nah, it'll be an S130, they didn't make t top versions of the S30s.

Early and late S130 2+2:

Late 2 seater

From what I can remember most late 2 seaters in the States were t top and it's rare to find a "slick top" as they call them.
