Yeah a great looking car. They were damn reliable, too, unlike Nissan (ugh!) now.

That is too cool. Who was the manufacturer? Would make a wicked drag car

Datsun of course :)

I think I prefered the datsun coupe\'s. Would love a 240Z (anything higher than 240 is a fraud :D ) 510\'s are cool too.

Love it!

I\'ve got a serious soft spot for the old Jap cars.. kind of American styling without the bulk!

Beautifiull orange on that car. Is there a supplier of simmons wheels in the uk??  They are such a classic wheel design.
