Hi,

I though I would share.

I got this last night, been chasing it for a while, it's the only other 240K I know off in the area, and since I have given up hope on getting a 2 door, this with have to do.

A little history, a 80+ year old lady had it since new (she had her license taken of her), She said the speedo has only been clocked over once, so thats 150k on the speedo, it's been in a garage all it's life,

It drive very nicely, steering still tight (no slop in the steering box or linkages), the 5 speed manual has no nosies, brakes are better than my other 240K, 1 crack in the dash, where the speaker is, original radio, no cassette player.

It's a 3/77 model, it has some differences to my 7/77,

it has a automatic choke, it has a larger harmonic balancer, it doesn't have a 'clutch' fan

I'll do this one up instead of the one I'm driving, at least now I can work on it, with out worrying about getting the job finished so I drive it to work.

Once we get prices for the Flares and such, I'll be bolting these on, and eventually move all my stuff over onto it.

And my brother said I can use his shed to leave it in, to work on..

to start with, the body needs a bit of work, then I'll fit my turbo, and make the exhaust, move my mega squirt and EDIS over onto it, swap all my shocks and mags, I'll use this for week end driving, and my other one for a daily driving

But I will still keep my eyes out for a 2 door, but I'm not holding my breath

You are very lucky.That is a very rare car where I live.I have seen these before in race trim.All I can say is BAD arse.good luck.

Nice score Nigel,

Don't lose hope on the 2 door you never know when one will pop up.

It's a pity you never saw that $1500 2 door from Tasmania that was for sale on ozdat for 2 and a half hours.

Good Find, It looks in good shape too. I love the original 5 speed and you have the best console. You will find that the panel over the cassette area pops out to a smugglers compartment. (For those that need one !).

I'm guessing the sun roof was an after market addition. I don't think I have ever seen one in a K before.

Still, now you have two. Sweet.

these are a close second to a c130

Each to his own, I did a Google search for the "Datsun Laurel" and to be honest, it didn't do anything for me.. but I didn't see any pictures of any 'done up' ones.

This Laurel looks mildy interesting:
