For those that might be interested ---check out the datsun 140z --- gumtree south africa either under datsun or race car.Price is a bit high but this thing runs-- gives a V8 Can Am a hard time ---check out the times at all the tracks in south africa -- fastest 3rd 5th 6th etc. More to read under ''mighty datsuns''

give us a link son

Sorry about the link thing --noted the 'son' just got a feeling i'm just a 'little' bit older thus the old style of doing it--like i said gumtree south africa [auto for sale] then datsun.This 140z was driven by Martin Richards and there is also a 1200 driven by his brother.More info-- google ''Mighty datsuns''they have their own site.Speedhunters also did an article--hung out with them at an historics race--can't remember if it was about killarney race track or racing[historics] insouth africa or about the datsuns --s/hunters did have a photo s/where.Sorry D us older dudes read and take in [suppose it's cos we did not listen when we were young] and don't really share to much --thats why i enjoy reading bige's write-ups.BUT and big but if i get into a race with a youngster it's balls to the wall --like the time a youngster tried to take me on my 900 blade with a VW golf.Sorry about the links then but i'm an older model like just BEFORE the old fleetline combi 50's model.

Looks good too

Hey Im old too no harm intended but how does an Old Aussie one of these!!????

thanks for the link LFOne she is a beauty, Id buy her in a jiffy!

no probs D --- that price is ok for you chaps in Oz/USA divide by ten and it looks better--not many of these in SA --that one in Cape Town another in Jo'burg and one chap in Middelburg. Quite a few chaps try to sell 140y gx as a 140z even though the numbers are different a good example of this is the biege one which now on gumtree --- must say though his one is being sold as 140y gx --they look the same just badges and numbers and one or two small things. O thanks to the member that posted the correct info --you'll be blessed --lotto is yours this week. LOL

so how does an aussie go about attaining one of these beauties?
fly to Cape Town speak to a shipping agent/customs/mafia?

D i think the only way is to phone or connect on their blogspot google ''the mighty datsuns'' and the blog will come up first.He has a big write-up there about the historic rules etc. I think that's prob why he's selling -- rivals are giving him a hard time cos he stays in the top three more or less. In jo'burg he gave the bigger cars a hard time so they reckon the cars specs are illegal and that is more or less the story but you can read about the ups and downs in his blog.I think you can connect via the blog or facebook.Name is Martin Richards.What do you want to do with this car? Gonna take on Rick bone lol would like to see that

sounds good! more just about having an awesome hot factory classic to cruise in and look after
