Seeing the Janspeed thread, prompted me to remember an article I found last year sometime. Like most notable International Race car drivers, they usually at some point have cut there teeth in a Datsun. Well Tom Wilkinshaw was one of those drivers. Tom was a British driver who was very successful in the 80's and also well known in Australia driving Jaguars and Holden Commodores. notably his TWR XJS 12cyl jags. Those cars used to make the mountain rumble, awesome sound.

Anyway back to Datsun. Tom was the named Driver along with Alec Poole in the Datsun UK /Janspeed Sunny Coupe GX in 1973. Car #19.
