Datsun 1200 SSS for 18,000 New Zealand Dollar is that a reasonable price?

Very reasonable, 30k+ nzd here I'd estimate. It actually came from my little home town with a population of 30,000!

Apart from the wrong steering wheel and no airbox its certainly looks like the real deal.
$18000 is an absolute steal, I know of a 120Y SSS that was far from s show stopper that the owner turned down NZD 42500!
There was a 1200 SSS race car sold on the weekend for NZD25000 and that was given away and would have been in my garage if my work computer hadn't decided it was going to block access to the internet with 3 minutes to ge before the auction closed...

My friend believes that this car was Wayne Jones old sss, I'm sure you remember him from circuit racing Dave. When he was buying his 2 door wagon off him many years ago he tried to but it but the 5k seems to steep compared to the $750 wagon.

Sure do, great guy and loved his RX3's.
Certainly looks as if its from Timaru after googling the 'Cullimores Radiator Specialists' sticker on the radiator.
How strange having travelled all the way to Japan to be up for way less money than it would sell for over here in NZ.
