Old guy popped into work today with this gem. Almost all original, but with a few "period" modifications. I love the headlight mesh covers. Is it Duncans old one? I'm not sure.

This isn't in the wild, but I was invited to view this Datsun in person.. A 1962, one of less than a hundred sold in NZ and IMHO probably the best preserved of antique NZ Datsuns. Maybe be the oldest NZ new Datsun...

I was driving so didn't get a photo, but I seen Mohit's 180b at the corner of Jackson St and Cuba St in Petone on Friday I think it was.

Wasn't driving too flash. Lurching about. Not sure if it is the driver unable to drive a manual or the engine misfiring :lol:
Looked good though.
My orangatang 510 here.
