1965 NISSAN SILVIA CSP311
Chassis number CSP311-70231
I have owned this Silvia since 1987, full details
are on the Silvia
Restoration page.
1966 DATSUN FAIRLADY 1600 SP311
Chassis number SP311-01060
I bought this Fairlady in 1983. It was in pretty bad
condition when I got her, she was painted Canary Yellow and had a cream
coloured interior. I fully restored her over, taking just over a year to
complete the work. She is now painted Porsche Guards Red and has a black
interior. The only major modification I have done is to fit a Nissan H20
2 litre engine. She has travelled well over half a million miles since
her restoration and she is due to go off the road again soon for another
restoration.
1964 NISSAN CEDRIC WAGON WP31
Chassis number WP31-50620
The latest restoration project, work was completed
in 1997. She was a one owner car when we bought her in 1996. The previous
owner was a 91 year old man who had bought her new in 1964. She had travelled
only 59000 miles since new. She was originaly metallic red with a red interior,
but the previous owner had painted her brown. We have painted her two-tone
blue and white with a blue interior.
1963 DATSUN BLUEBIRD P312
Chassis number P312-3-32984
The Bluebird was bought in 1987 from a wrecking yard
and restored in 1988. She was originally two tone grey and blue but we
painted her white and blue. She was actually in fairly good condition when
we got her, she didn't really need a full restoration, just a respray and
a few little things done to her.
1964 DATSUN FAIRLADY 1500 SP310
Chassis number 4-SP310-00134

Restoration page of my other website, the Early Datsun Homepage.
1966 DATSUN FAIRLADY 1600 SP311
Chassis number SP311-00925
The next project. We bought her in 1991. Mechanically
she is near perfect but her body and interior is very rough.
