I rang Gordon Dobie this arvo and spoke for about half hour mainly about the good old days.Col lives up hear (Logan).he said to say hi to Bert.

Hmm will keep looking,thanks Benny

I last saw it for sale by a young bloke in Murwillumbah area about a year and a bit ago. Think it was wearing some nice "starshark" wheels at the time.

On the subject of 1k's who is the owner of my old orange coupe purchased from Matty?

I like to keep on top of these things so not to loose one again

Just remembered my 1000 sports sedan had a mid mounted A12.I did not finish the project and it went to Gordon Dobies workshop and he finished it.But years later l saw it and it had a rotory in it. All in melbourne in the 70s.

Hey Greg,did'nt you sell your 1000 shell that we half built to Dobie?I wonder if that ended up with Colin.

This would be about the time babies came into my life and motor sport took a back seat for many years

I do remember Lance Deluca had red 1000 sport sedan with an A10 motor about the same time.
Do add more to this if i am wrong

There were 2 x 1000 sports sedans following on Cols 1000 successful setup
but one ran an A series mid mount the other a heavy NA FJ20DE.
The A series one ended up in Perth, the FJ20 one not sure

Gordon Dobie has a new book being released this month that discusses all the Datsun history. He mentions Col's 1000 sports sedan in it. I recommend everyone interested in Datsun Racing history in Australia to buy one.

where did you get that malaysian GP picture DD? i think the event is in Batu Tiga track, which is now gone.
