I dont wish to start an argument about wide body 1200 coupes,but all this talk about them seems to me to be all second hand information and hear say.I worked for John Roxbough motors (Datsun racing team Australia)for 11 years 1968-79 and i spent 90% of my time working on all the race cars john had in those years.
Firstly the coupe we had was NOT i repeat NOT a wide body coupe.The coupe was built in japan as a race car and shipped here in a container,with all the so call cheat part already on it.
All these parts were amoligated parts and were legal to run,but as Roxbough was the only factory team dealer no one else could get hold of any of the trick bits.
Secondly ther was never a SISTER car unles some one here built a mockup version.
We did build a 120y with all the goodies but it was not a sucess(to heavy.
If any body has any more first hand knowledge, i would say that i must have worked with them at Roxbourghs then,i do remember all the guys from that time.Unfortunatly a lot have pass on.
This picture is the coupe in question
