Alistair, where did you move to?
Hey Nik,
I somehow missed this sorry.
I moved to Switzerland for a bit, now I'm in London. But I'm writing this post whilst drinking a beer in Italy and about to head to France.
Not that many Datsuns out here. I know of a rough LHD 240Z in North London, and one night in Central London I spotted a Vanette. Lots of Zeds and some F10 Cherrys pop up on eBay, but rarely anything else. Strangely I have seen a couple of C210s, one C110 and a few Zeds cruising around London but registered in Kuwait or Saudi Arabia!

Zero Datsuns were spotted in Switzerland.
I did look hard for a Datsun, but couldn't find anything. So I bought a new Datsun instead:

It's not a 180SX, but in fact a 200SX, as sold in Europe. I've done a few long trips around the UK in it and it's super reliable, bur doesn't have that old Datsun feeling (vague steering, no power, delayed everything, all the things that make us love them).
