In year 2006 I had that same model of Datsun. 1974 and even the colour was the same. Man I loved that car.

Great vehicle and in some ways, quite advanced for its time having independent rear suspension. The 74 Mazda RX4 coupe i recently sold was advanced with its rotary engine but still ran leaf springs in the rear. The Datsun had a nicer dash and interior layout too IMHO.

@MrUAV100 - Thanks, i ve had the car over six years and it really is great fun. I looked at an RA28 St and Mazda 929 Coupe before purchasing this. I am glad i went with the Datsun as its the coolest and most head turning car i ve ever owned!

Thanks for the comments guys, no dogleg in this gearbox, was still the original 4 speed! Car was rare when I had it 3 yrs ago, only about a dozen left in UK then. This was the only road legal one at time of filming making it a very rare site indeed!

@GTnumber1 - This car was mine for 6 years, and i thoroughly enjoyed owning it. The smell of the vinyl interior makes me smile too! Not seen a Nissan Teana, but will google it! I currently have a Nissan Terrano II and a 74' Mazda RX4 Coupe which i am in the process of restoring :)

I love the Old Skool Jap cars. This is so cool and quite rare to see these days. I have a Toyota Celica RA28 Liftback GT but this would have been the first car of choice if I didn't have the Celica at the moment. If I had a spare bit of cash you would be getting a call from me about this awesome classic. If I were you I would keep this as you will regret selling it later on, they hardly ever come up for sale.

@goosegog - cheers, wing gap is simply down to metal replacement items not sitting as well as previous fibreglass ones. But id rather the metal than fibreglass. As for the pedals, they came with the car, they just clip on! Not my favourite either but very 80's i thought! 6 bolts and they come off!

Can any one tell me how fast they really was, 0 to 60 and top end ? I find it hard that my dad said he blew away XR3/s

Engine was a 1600ohc with twin carb, combined with 4 speed. It revved to 7k no problem which was high revving in 74! The day i went to look at it, the previous owner told me he could give a hot hatch a run for its money. Next set of lights (this was 2003/4) we came along side an xr3i... We had him to 60mph and backed off as we were residential! I guess, fuel injection aside and xr3s being fwd, cars would have been similar weights and power.

It's looking so much better than before you owned it. Good stuff. Front wing-to-door gap looks well iffy though and those add-on pedal pads are horrid! Otherwise, it's got great potential! I like the old film effect. Best of luck with the sale
