I've recently released the Jag back to the wild from whenst she came and with some interesting news RE:-Job, I'm looking at importing a 1968 Nissan Gloria wagon from the far east. Having a friend that lives and breathes in Japan and also exports cars to Europe and the US, this is of course infinetly easier on my behalf. Most pics I've found however have been stupendously stock examples (fine as they are). page17.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/v440125562page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n162959571What modified examples are there about or sites that I can find some?    To me what works on an early 60s Impala would work on an A30.  Just looking for inspiration/motivation to ring the big red Nippon phone and make my bucket list slightly smaller. |

Looks like a Forms Country Squire to me. All that is missing is some wood paneling and Astro Supremes.... P.  |

I loathe all this stuff from America, wacky Ghostbusters Cadillacs and the like, hideous. So i shouldn't like these. But i do! They're a world apart, executed really well, tidy, and look good even from my 'engineers point of view'.
That's a good looking car, far more in line with the more conservative european tastes we're used to, i don't know why i've never seen one.
