At our last Historic Club meeting I was given a set of magazines for the year 1963. These are an American magazine called Sports Car Graphic published by the Petersen Publishing Company. It's quite fascinating reading about what was in 1963, an exculsive on the Fabulous Twin Mini!, testing the new Cooper "S" and a great write up on the SHELL 4000 trans-Canadian Rally, but I digress..... What caught my attention was a Road Test on the Datsun SPL 310, which we all know as the Roadster. It was given a commendable write-up, however what caught my eye was the last paragraph. "As you may have heard, this car was originally referred to as the FAIR LADY. Feeling this sounded t…

All: I am guessing this is not the case, but I was wondering if Nissan has a service that provides a production trace of your Z car? I have a Jag E-Type, and this is a really cool service that Jaguar provides that shows the original dealer, owner, production dates, etc. I know Porsche does something similar. If Nissan does not (and I am pretty sure they don't), does anyone have ideas about how to suggest it to them?

A friend recently visited the National Motor Museum in England and took these photos of a 1935 Type 14 Datsun. Interestingly it was imported to England by Sir Herbert Austin to investigate a possible patent infringement - this is somewhat interesting given Austin cars were later build under license by Datsun in Japan...maybe Sir Herbert recognised a superior product when he saw it!.

Found this while cruising another website. Kinda slammed the ZX but made me wonder how a 240 or 280 would have fared. Kinda funny how there's no British representation at all, not even a TR7. Just For Fun The times they are a-changin', sports-car wise By Mike Knepper Want to start an argument? Get two or more enthusiasts together and ask them to define "sports car." Not too many years ago, we all agreed on the definition. In fact, it was so obvious, the question never arose. Sure, we disagreed on the best example of the breed, but a sports car was, well, a sports car. The top went down, or more likely came off completely and was stored in the trunk, along with the …
