More information on this please

I never really spoke to you on the forum back in the day but I remember your user name, what a blast from the past! I'm guessing you no longer have the coupé?

Happy to be back on ozdat! The coupe is sold a long time ago now unfortunately but in good hands. I'll do a thread for the red car when I find some spare time

I missed the four-year anniversary of me starting this thread, but who's still here, and do we have any newcomers?

My 200SX spent the last five months breaking things. I got stranded four hours north of London and spent the night in the car, then it got damaged at the mechanic when it went in for it's MOT (annual roadworthy check). I got it painted and then it broke down again, but it's all fixed now. Definitely bringing back memories of a certain green 200B breaking down all the time, but at least I haven't had the engine out yet!

The bug is biting harder and harder for a proper classic car, and I'm checking Datsuns on eBay almost daily. Zeds aside, there's not many choices here, and when they do appear they're usually a big project (which I don't have the room for) or fully restored and priced accordingly. I'm waiting for the right car to pop up, then I will pounce.

Has anybody else bought anything new?

Also, I spotted this fine Datsun on a recent ski trip to Bulgaria. I did see another black one drive past, but couldn't get a photo.
