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.

Hello! wouldn't mind seeing pics of the Westminster

Hope there is a picture here for you

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

That's a mighty fine looking 'Minster, but why are so many fitted with P5B Rostyles? Doesn't look right to me.

[graham kelly]

And here's my Datsun

[graham kelly]

And last but not least my GS300 Sport

[michiel]

Love the Datsun & Austin!

[Spottedlaurel]

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.

[graham kelly]

Thanks for that Nige blimey what a soggy wet JAE that was i remember it well, great times though we used to have some great shows back in the nineties didn't we.Miss both those cars but time moves on i suppose .

[AnthonyG]

And last but not least my GS300 Sport

[garycox]

Why would you take the original reg off of the Datsun?

[Torsten2001]

All Westies look soooo right! If it had a Wolseley Grille it would be a perfect car! Welcome!
