Posted November 4, 201014 yr comment_335168 Hi All. Our group are doing up a couple of cars to look like the Nissan Works1971 Safari rally cars.This was held in Kenya, Nairobi, etc. when of course the 240z took the world on and won. We need pictures of the position of the decals so we can reproduce these. We have searched the net and the best we can see are mostly distant, or angled, or car covered in dirt.Any help with pictures would be most appreciated. Thanks.Brian.

We have tried to get SEIKO decals/stickers without success.We are not sure if we should copy them, and other decals.Cheers, Brian.if you need to copy discontinued decals, you need to go to a sign shop or a place that does vehicle wraps. That would be your best source for a reproduction that will give youa decent lifespan, if you cant find a shop local, email me a clean usable file and i'll price them for you. need the size also. mike@signsationsinc.net Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/37574-1971-east-african-safari-rally/#findComment-335303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
