Period automotive art. It's always nice to post

Period automotive art.

It's always nice to post something positive in what's been, and still is, unsettling times for most.

The recent lock down presented a small gap in production but in turn created an opportunity to fulfil a wish from a very dear client. As well as being the proud owner of our special 'widebody commission' our client also owned a low mileage one owner UK 240z in his amazing car collection.

He had always wanted to transform this car into a homage of the 70's UK 'Z' specialists 'Samuri Conversions'. This was a company who were based at the UK race circuit at Silverstone and would modify these cars for fast road and race purposes, as well giving each car the Samuri unique paint scheme.

I have always been a fan of the Samuri cars and have a personal connection to these cars (more on that later) so i was delighted to finally deliver on something that would not have been possible without the lock down jolting our whole industry.

Every cloud...

I hope you enjoy, and we will be posting a few of the amazing pictures courtesy of the skills and talent of 📷@fraserhav .....nice to have you back kid.

Thank you for everything ....

Very sad to hear the death of Yoshihiko Matsuo san, the design team leader who helped design the iconic Fairlady Z ( badged outside Japan as the 240z that we all know and love)

I speak on behalf of many and say thank you for helping in creating a machine, a legacy, a way of life for so many car communities across the world. The honour and respect for you and your family will continue through the ongoing success of a truly remarkable piece of automotive history.

I hope one day with careful consideration and the right client we can build a very special commision in your honour. But in truth every 240z on the road today is that car.

If you consider how the team have lived and breath

If you consider how the team have lived and breathed these cars for so many years now.
From time to time we still have these moments where we just step back and admire.

It’s a car that we still choose over most out on the road today. These were built from an era where a sports car had real soul, and from a time when automotive art and design was allowed to flourish without limits.

Fifty years on and this jewel from the Far East is rightfully taking its throne amongst it's peers as one of the most loved and admired sports cars of it's generation.

The workshop has really been going through the gears since the lock down lift. I’ll be posting some current stuff soon.
But in the mean time here are some nice angles from a visit a while back from the talented 📷@james_mk2

We’ve some genuinely incredible commissions lined up. I wish I could just press fast forward and show you the next generation of the MZR cars. But it’s a process that has to be respected and a standard that can not be compromised.
But I promise you all it’s worth the wait.

MZR hit the big screen.

Now live on the Petrolicious Master Mechanics series exclusive to @petrolicious members. They have a super quarantine special deal of only $29 annual membership. It’s great value, so join up and watch how the team create the MZR machines from start to finish.

Workshop Wednesday.

It's been a while guys and I'm sure we all know why.
So what a lovely way to re-start the MZR season with the guys @petrolicious coming over to film us over a couple of days for their superb Master Mechanic series. Just like us, these guys really enjoy what they do and we had many laughs and positive conversations. And even a tropical storm out of the blue when filming some road stuff didn't dampen the spirits.

I'd forgotten how much fun interacting with other human beings was after this whole lock down debacle.

Made me think, it's physical distancing and not social. So i hope we can all start getting back to normal. I'm pretty sure uncle Boris hasn't stated that we can catch this virus by smiling at one another just yet.
So say cheese guys !

UK Lock down, week five (or six? I’ve lost count

UK Lock down, week five (or six? I’ve lost count!) Its been tough, it's been surreal, it's been emotional.

Over the past few weeks I’ve seen some incredible acts of kindness within my own City’s community during this pandemic in helping others out. I’ve also seen how we’ve all improvised and still managed to stay connected despite all of the self isolation.
I’ve seen my own children adapt to home schooling and enjoy and appreciate their home, their garden, mother nature and each other, now more than ever. Their energy and optimism has been inspiring.

These times have really highlighted for me what I have in my life , rather than what I haven’t. So in that sense it’s been a blessing.
So maybe we should come together as a global family and use this enforced 'time out’ as the perfect opportunity just to slow things down and reflect on our lives and make those positive changes.
I’m not sure anyone really knows what the future holds at the moment , so let’s just take things day by day.
Hoping you all stay safe, keep the faith and enjoy this weekend the best you can.

I’d also like to wish Ramadan Kareem/Mubarak to all my brothers and sisters around the world 🌍

I posted up a while back some pics of a very early lovely London Commission we had back at the workshop for a winter service and some upgrades. People/clients sometimes ask us do our commissions actually get used regular by their respective owners. My answer is always the same, i really do hope so.

So it was so nice to receive some awesome pictures of their last summer trip from the UK over to the French Riviera, up the Italian Dolomite's, and then back down into Switzerland.
The family regularly select a few cars from their superb collection and create some epic adventures.
Brilliant family, brilliant cars. (i think they like the colour red !) Let’s hope it’s not too long until we can all play out again. In the meantime stay safe and keep the faith!

It seems along time since we had anyone commission

It seems along time since we had anyone commission a MZR machine in a factory original colour. It would be nice to build a special one in its original gangster guise.

Which one would you choose from these two. The factory 112 Lime or the 920 Safari Gold?

A time long ago when social distancing was unheard

A time long ago when social distancing was unheard of ,the MZR team took time out for a mini photo shoot.
We took the opportunity to show off some t-shirts we got from when the latest Fast and Furious movie was being filmed last year. For those that don't know, a campaign was launched called 'Justice for Han'.
This was an amazing global effort of pushing the production team at Fast and Furious to re-introduce the much loved character Han Lue who was seemingly killed off in the Fast 6 movie.
Han’s character is played by a cool cat by the name of Sung Kang @sungkangsta who has flown the flag for the Z cars with his own personal and well renown car named FuguZ.

And in typical Hollywood fashion, the fans around the world efforts were answered, with his dramatic comeback in the latest Fast movie F9 @thefastsaga.
Although the premiere has been postponed until April next year due to the CV19 pandemic, we would still like to welcome back with open arms @sungkangsta as he's a true petrol head and a real gent.

Check out his new venture @sungsgarage and join his car community along with his latest addition to the Datsun family named 'Oppa' which is a uber cool 320 truck dripping with patina, character and attitude. It’s a social platform created purely out of love for machine but more so for mankind, connecting people through these unsettling times.
And for those eagle eyed among that might be thinking why our t-shirts read 'Justice for Ham' and not Han.........well that's a story for another day.

Lovely stuff from @tgnzlez_designs and so cool he chose our MZR50 to celebrate his own birthday.

Posted @withregram • @tgnzlez_designs It's my birthday 🎉, so I decided to make a Car-toon version of my favorite car... the 240z! This one inspired by the MZR50 Edition from @mzr_roadsports 🏁 | Car-toon Series Vector Illustration

Seems a shame, but now the template has had the approval from the whole team on the MZR50's new body, it was time to de-assemble the whole car and continue with the intensive weather proofing, sound proofing and flat/polishing body programme.
