I have this 1200 coupe completed 18M ago and not used. Thinking of selling, £K's spent, Andy Robinson cage, no rust 130BHP/Dog leg box, multiple spares, even spare car available etc etc.

My Dad had the exact same model back in the day, l remember being taken to school in it occasionally when the bus drivers were on strike along with most of the country at the time. It was bright orange. Great to see one again. We used to discuss what SSS was, super special sport was a rough conclusion.Boydyrs wrote:Just found this...my other passion.....pretty rare and long gone

Both cars are very cool. The wheels on the red one look just like those on the 82 Celica GT I enjoyed in the late 80's. Speaking of which, do all Brits pronounce Celica the same way the "Project Binky" / Bad Obsession guys say it...seh LEE ka? In the US it's always been SEH li ka. Just wondering. Glad to see Japanese cars of interest getting more respect and attention.
If you guys are ever in Nashville remember to visit the Lane Motor Museum and ask to see the reserve collection in the basement. Huge building - former bread factory/bakery. All kinds of oddball stuff...not your usual US iron or Euro exotica. Lovely place and home to the Nissan USA collection. John.
