Get with the program lads, surely that is just like the MINI and Beetle but WORSE! I don't think they are the same thing really. The new Mini and Beetle are just cynical marketing ploys to sell some new tat. They are pure modern cars to look at..no sticky out bits or separate bumpers like proper old cars, just another modern car. The Japanese things are aimed at enthusiasts, not the general market. These are people who genuinely want something old but cannot afford the high costs involved. Remember, Japan has much stricter rules about old car use than here and the costs are a great deal more. The market these cars are aimed at in Japan doesn't really exist outside. For daily use, commuting to work and so on, I'd rather have one of these that some dull modern small hatch. ;D |

Right maybe its me but...
These are production cars taking some design ideas from the original cars. Yeah?
So why are these not considered lame/lazy designing like out American friends.
I do agree though they look the mutts and would love to own one.

I have, there's three of them sat outside my house  It's a C210/211 Skyline, 240K GT to us here. Never seen the twin-rectangular lights put into one before, usually it's a big single rectangle one - looks good. As standard they had twin round lights, with a sloping rectangular unit on facelift models. Hmmm, Vanettes have that style of headlight...... |

Funny the difference headlights can make, Corona's of late 70's early 80's vintage also have those lights Spotted Looks like a fairly decent thing to make swappable. I prefer quad rounds but quad rectangle is better than large rectangle! |

SL, as C210's have a very very similar struture underneath to C230 Laurels there's a good chance that late Laurel twin rectangular headlights will bolt straight in. I seem to remember the inner wings on both cars being the same but the Laurel having an extension welded to the top if it. I think I have a set of new C230 mounts if you want to try ;D
Getting back to the retro styled stuff, I find it funny how so many classic car people moan about "why can't they make new cars that look like older ones" then when someone does they rip into it and call it a fake ;D

I prefer quad rounds but quad rectangle is better than large rectangle! Like we have lots of Coronas here  Late C230 Laurels had them too, but I'm much more likely to find them on one of the Spanish-built Vanette C220's they sold here for years. Sorry, not really on-topic! Edit: Hold onto those mounts Ed! I think most of those retro conversions are quite funny, don't see any harm in them and in many cases they're much more sensible for everyday use than the original would be. I've got brochures on a few, stuff like VDP1300 Micras, Nissan Crew Bentleys, even some done by Nissan themselves (and I don't mean the Pike Factory cars like Pao, Figaro etc). |

I think these cars are great - they're the prefect antidote to people getting overly serious about their cars, which I think we often have the propensity to do. So they're not original, or ground breaking, I know if I was driving one (or saw one being driven) while I was stuck in traffic on the M25 it would make me chuckle, and there's no small achievement in that. |
