The Fairlady 240Z, also known as the export model name "Datsun 240Z", participated in famous "Rallye Monte-Carlo" mainly on snowy and icy roads. In the 41st Rallye Monte-Carlo, the 240Z finished third, which surprised rally concerned people all over the world. The reason is that 240Z adopted the FR (front engine / rear wheel drive) system with the engine mounted in front. The FR system was thought to be disadvantageous on snow and ice, but the result betrayed the prediction. As a result, more and more drivers began driving Z-car at domestic rallies.
This car is the one that finished third at the 41st Rallye Monte-Carlo in 1972 by Rauno Aaltonen and Jean Todt.
