The name applied in non-Japanese markets to the "Z31" and "Z32" generations of the Nissan Z that were manufactured from 1983 to 2000 is commonly referred to as the Nissan 300ZX. Car and Driver magazine rated the Z32 on its Ten Best list for seven consecutive years, which represented each model year of its availability in the United States. Motor Trend awarded it as the 1990 Import Car of the Year.

The Z32 300ZX, like this car, was a new design. The body was wider with a rounder profile and fewer hard edges. It had a marginally increased drag coefficient of .31 compared to the Z31's .30. Production continued in Japan until August 2000, with styling updates along the way. Unchanged from the previous generation 300ZX was the displacement of the 3.0-litre V-6 engine, now with dual overhead camshafts, variable valve timing and producing 222-hp in naturally aspirated form. A twin turbo version was also offered. American Z-car sales reached one million sales during the 1990 model year, making it (at that time) a best-selling sports car.

This particular Nissan 300ZX is presented as an original car in Scarlet with a black leather interior. In 1992 factory upgrades included a standard driver’s airbag, mirror heaters were made standard, a power adjustable driver’s seat was standard on the T-top models; and the dashboard and door complementary material was changed from fabric to suede. Among the additional features on this example are glass T-tops, air conditioning, cruise control, radio with cassette; power windows, steering and four-wheel disc brakes. This is reported as a one owner car from new and has been driven in a moderate fashion during the ownership. There has been no paint work and it has experienced a fresh service with timing belt and a fresh clutch.
