Is the Nissan 370Z a good investment?

The thesis

The 370Z is the last naturally aspirated Z-car (3.7L V6, 328 bhp, rear-drive, manual) and sits firmly early in its appreciation arc. UK manual coupés are £15–25k, centred in budget. Production ended 2020; the Z is now turbocharged (Z 2023+), cementing 370Z 'last-of-breed' status. The car has strong JDM/enthusiast following, usable performance, and Nissan reliability. Unlike the S2000 or E46, it has not yet been 'discovered' by collectors; prices are stable-to-rising but not chased. Risk: high production dilutes scarcity, and the 370Z lacks the motorsport pedigree or badge prestige of Porsche/BMW. But for a driver-investor who wants naturally aspirated V6 theatre, manual gearbox, and RHD availability inside £20–25k, this is the undervalued play. The market is bottoming, not peaking.
