I am fully stoked - and it's not just Chris Lott's story about the sunken boat! I have been helping a guy check out race cars and we are off to look at another one this weekend. The guy who wants to sell it mentioned he had some Datsun 1200 coupes as well. Apparently he has the ex-factory 1200 coupe that won Bathhurst! You guys got anything you want me to check out? I know it appeared to have 5 stud wheels in the Photo gallery - I'll look for those. This is going to be a full on weekend I can tell - woo hoo!!.

Mad! I would love to go have a look at this 1200 coupe just to see what tricks the Datsun Dealer Team (or whatever they were called) did to it. Ask him whether it is for sale aswell. I would be interested as i just cant get enough of 1200's!! Im sure it wont be cheap tho!!! Scott Davo

Hey you lucky bugger, along with the camera take plenty of film for detail shots and a tape measure? Could you measure the wheelbase for us? For years I've heard stories of extended wheelbase factory cars, apparently it gave the cars added stability in the fast straights. Try measuring between the firewall and the strut towers this may be where the difference is. If it's the car I think it is most of the factory gear has long gone and it was used as a rally car but I would still love to crawl over it and more importantly under it to see how things were mounted etc.
