Early Datsun in Australia is a complete
guide on Compact Disc to every Nissan, Datsun and Prince car and commercial
vehicle sold in Australia before 1970. The Early Datsun in Australia CD
is a must have item for every Early Datsun owner and admirer. As well as
having one of the most comprehensive model guides for Datsuns of this era
that has ever been written, it also includes over 800 different images,
