Mini’s rebirth was obviously pure marketing genius, and no one cared too much that the new hatchback was tight in the back. The Clubman aimed to put that right. Bangernomics best buys:
350Z was effectively the ‘big Healey’ reborn for the 21st century, except much more reliable and considerably safer.
It’s quite an old piece of kit now, dating all the way back to 2003, and it existed prior to that in the US and Japan, so you can even get an earlier import. The majority have the GT Pack, meaning cruise control, heated seats and a better hi-fi from Bose. Forged 18in alloy wheels were also a popular option.
The 350Z was given a light restyling in 2006, then from 2007 is the last price-point change, as these cars are arguably the best of the lot. The V6 was uprated to become the 309bhp ‘HR’ and overall weight was reduced thanks to a revised steering box.Oil is the key to engine survival. If it’s burning a lot, the pistons ring could be worn. Dying clutches will cost more than £1000 to replace; and listen out for knocking suspension and clicking driveshafts.
The truth is that these really are old bangers now and therefore vulnerable to rust and neglect, so the brakes and exhaust plus some sundry suspension bushes need replacing and nobody can be bothered once it fails the MOT test. It’s best to find the later examples with few owners and a decent history. These are perfect spare/second/short-commute cars for pennies.
