Cruising through town today and I saw an immaculate Y reg Nissan Stanza hatchback coming the other way. I haven't noticed one of those for years because I think they've probably all rotted away, so it was nice to see a mint one. It was obviously loved as even the tyres were shiny. Is there an owners' club for those? If so, why? Kev.

Indeed!
The stanza is generally unloved by both the Nissan and Datsun clubs. A bit of orphan really......

I think there is some hidden potential there - runing gear from later T12/T72 Bluebirds would fit, though suspension might need a bit of a sort out first. I don't just mean they could do with a bit of lowering and uprated dampers, there was a fairly significant geometry problem which turned understeer into oversteer mid-bend This clean one sold for £300, seller bought it at Xmas for £311! cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4608955566

A mate bought a Stanza 3 years ago or maybe 4. It cost him £100 with T&T. It was sweet running/driving car with slightly tatty body. He used it instead of a works van as its easier to go to the tip in a hatchback and he was a tiler by trade. Had 100,000+ on the clock when he had it, sold it when he gave up tiling for a living and it was still going strong with like 160K on the clock. Never serviced, never failed an MOT, never had a problem.

That it's still available? Through a post on the new Datsun forum run by Datman, seller has apparently rung him about it. Why you interested?

I see the top bidder is a 'mate' of the seller... only feedback they have is from them. Clearly a bit of nifty shilling going on!
give us a link to the Datsun forum where its mentioned would you?
