	hi all ;D just picked this beauty up last night! one owner car with lady in her 90s giving up driving in 2007 and has been sat in garage since will get it sorted for MOT with a little help from my friends and hope to be driving her by the weekend! she has a few bodywork issues but other than a bit of panel shade fade here and there she is totally solid! interior smells plush! suspension and gear changes are very smooth and she purrs silently when being driven this has the A14 engine with 4 speed box not had this saloon version before (i have the sss coupe already!) and I loved driving her round the block last night! (private road obviously! ) gonna get her bodywork imperfections tidied up and hope to drive her for a couple of months before I sell her in the near future as some of my other cars are coming back out of hiding in May this year! HEARS SOME PICS FOR NOW!------>>>> hope to have better pics later next week got another Datsun coming out of bodyshop in May! happy classic motoring! bring on 2012 sunshine!

	Blimey, that looks good. Personally, I reckon it would look spot on with the current wheels banded so that they come out to the arch, little tap with the stick. Done. Can't believe how nice that interior is, nice find.
