I'm sad to report that Bill Blydenstein passed away just a few weeks ago. RIP.

Hopefully, the poster isn't attempting to claim credit for that. It's pretty much verbatim from the "Team Nissan Europe and the Nissan 240RS" article on that site which I read back in 2004 when this thread was current. It's still an interesting read nearly three years later, however.

Something else to add to that era The Ford Sierra Cosworth......BTW it's little under powered brother in the USA was the Merkur XR4ti...I did not know that Datsun had a Group B car...Cool..

It was sad news that Bill Blydenstein had passed away.

I actually wrote the piece about BBR and Aki Moroe posted it on his website. I have a 240RS and I know a number of other owners around the world. They are quite rare now, in particular FJ24 parts.
