Pete-M Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hi Pillock Yes that is mine its a 1977 Datsun 260c 330 saloon with manual trans i have owned it for a number of years now, also have a 65 westminster manual with overdrive. Missus has an E36 320i convertible and my daily is a 96 Lexus GS300 Sport.Hello Graham.My dad had a 300C back in the late 70's for a short while. Do they all have the little brake light on the rear parcel shelf? The one that faces inwards? I used to love the radio remote controls on the back of the centre console. I took a couple of slaps for playing with that when my dad was trying to listen to Radio 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hiya! Good to see you here. To others, I've known Graham for a fair few years now through the Datsun OC. As well as his current rather nice collection he's owned a number of other interesting Datsuns etc in the past. I have pic's of some, at the moment the best I can find scanned in is this one...  Showing both the 1200 coupe (with its original reg, now on the Lexus it appears) that later went to Ratdat and his 280C (430) saloon.
