Only 61 thou on the clock and 4 owners from new,it is the "Flying Custard".(to be honest its really a lemon colour and it cant fly(not had more than about 55mph out of her!!!)).  And heres an updated picture of the "Flying Custard" with my sons Tomahawk.  Next up is a Matt Black bonnet and sort the wheels out,probably going to keep the originals on for the time being and spray them black with the trims silver. |

Yes mate,tried flickr and Photobucket and no joy from either,tried pasteing them inbetween the image and no joy,probably be quicker to post everyone a photo! Ha! I like the idea of the personal touch! As joe says, put the link to the pictures on the hosting site up and one of us can have a go for you |

 Yay another 100a! I noticed yours has a passenger side mirror.It isn't a base model like mine then?Do you have a stereo,parcel shelf,heated rear screen & a coin tray around the gear lever. Let's have some interior pics! If you want some extra wheels I have a set of standard 12'' wheels & a set of 5 Mg steel rims,blasted & sprayed silver.  |

Mate that is seriously low,mine has a coin tray, a heated rear screen and a parcel shelf.Does that make it a Deluxe? Only had it a week and I was wondering how many are left and if there is a decent owners club I can join,also got a Volvo 240 estate and a Chevrolet Tacuma for carting the kids about in but the less said about that the better.

Try on the datsunownersclub.com,It's a bit slow on there but datman is a minefield of information.As for numbers I think there is less than 10 & I've been told mine is really rare because of my colour combination off the interior.
Good luck with the car mate there a joy to drive.
What top speed you had out of yours & don't forget the interior pics!

I had about 50mph and thought I was going to go Back to the Future so I am just going to cruise about in the old gal,will get some interior pics on although the front carpet is rough and the passenger seat has a tear,should make a fun project though,will let you know about the wheels as I am going to keep the steelies on for a while and have them powder coated black with the trims spayed chrome.Its nice to know theres another one out there still.

At last it appears! Ha ha! Nice little car there, best of luck with it. I photoshopped one of these recently with some fender extenders or whatever they're called and some wide wheels - must dig it out for you..... not that i'm saying you should slam it on wide wheels or anything..... |

Haha, 50, awesome!
I had a mk II one of these not long ago and I can tell you I managed 103mph going downhill once... now THAT is scary!
Should cruise at 75 easy enough though and they can take a pounding
