Good to know it is still about.That one doesn't have those rear opening 1/4 panel windows that the YUA had? that banger raced one looked to be really solid too,just look at that rear quarter after it got hit,not a hint of rot or filler!!

Spottedlaurel Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 That one doesn't have those rear opening 1/4 panel windows that the YUA had? As on all Cedric estates that shared that feature, they only had the opening window on the left side (i.e. kerbside for Japan).

Heidel_Kakao Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Cedric just met a 500BHP turbo nutter bastard lol. 4WD is like playing Doom on "Please I am too young to die" in my humble opinion.

Heidel_Kakao Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 When can we expect a full write up please? Not too long, will maybe start again from day one with added details and photos, or start from absolute beginning including back story but then you will be waiting ages to find out what happened at the strip joint.

panhard65 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 When you do write it up any chance of giving us a clue as to costs as Junkman just posted up a Volvo hearse in Sweden that is looking very tempting Heidel_Kakao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidel_Kakao Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 I just realized that with an XM and Cedric I own both a Bertone and Pininfarina styled estate at the same time, pretty cool Dick Longbridge, M'coli, alcyonecorporation and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglevan Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Cant believe I missed this thread, brings back my faith in Autoshite - this is shear gold in thread write ups. What a car and what a journey. I have visited many of the places on your trip, went to Finland including Turku (and off back again next week) Spent many a time in Sweden, crossing the fantastic Oresund bridge, first in my old Talbot then a couple of years ago in my Mitsubishi L300. On that same trip we went to Billund (my daughter is mad on Lego) - Managed to go to Legoland Malaysia the same year.  So reading this from end to end was pure gold for me - thanks for keeping me entertained for an hour or two, I hope one day I get to see the Cedric in real life as it's just beyond awesome...  Thanks and will keep an eye on this thread now... mk2_craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Longbridge Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 We’ve got a pretty blue greyhound - she’s available for photo recreations (assuming the hound hanging out the side of YUA is a grey - sure looks like one). Edit: Don’t you have greyhounds as well?Annnywayy... Heidel_Kakao and Tamworthbay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always preferred Datsun but that'll be an age thing Sent from my Redmi 4 using TapatalkAs far as I understand it was always Nissan in Japan and Datsun in Europe until they switched to Nissan. I prefer Nissan Cedric and is what I will be referring to it as. Datsun 2000 is confusing because in the rest of the world that is what the Fairlady roadster was called.
