The History Of Samuri Motor Company

To capitalise on the promising performance of the Datsun 240Z and to make further inroads into the sports car market, Nissan unsurprisingly entered a small team of specially modified works cars into a number of International rallies, including the RAC Rally, the Monte Carlo Rally and most notably in 1973 when Shekhar Mehta and Lofty Drews took victory in the East African Safari Rally.

Inspired by these performances, a number of private individuals recognised the latent potential in the 240Z and started to explore how they might be further developed. Samuri Motor Company founded by Spike Anderson has a rich motor racing and performance tuning history dating back to the early 1970’s. The Samuri ethos was to take a standard 240Z Datsun and modify it to go faster, stop and handle better. CLICK TO VIEW THE SAMURI FULL STORY
