After reading about the 1600SSS CAR137.com reader Rob Treacher sent me a photo of his Datsun Violet 160J SSS. This is a classic 80's photo of an awesome car. Love the 13" Trident's, and the Bridgestone's, and the colour. Beautiful, original car.
If you have a good photo of a beautiful car that was in your life, feel free to email it to me so I can include it on the site.

This car was imported from Japan fully assembled in 1973-74 by the local Hawkes Bay Datsun dealer. It was one of the first Japanses cars I remember driving with a 5 speed gearbox that beeped when reverse was selected ( I actually had that disabled). From memory, the car was good for 115 mph on a good day.
ReplyDeleteThe dreaded Jap import reverse beep. Classic. Thanks for the extra info Rob.
