OK it's quiz time - why is this car important?

 

1st ever Z car?

 

You've just bought it for the Mrs?

 

Its what you want your 300 to look like?

Would it be the first Datsun rally winner?

It has better bodywork than most UK zeds?

LOL, They always said the Japs copy Europe when it comes to car design.

 

Now is that a dead ringer for a Wolsey Hornet or what!

Its what the 300zx was based on? :rofl:

Would it be the first Datsun rally winner?

 

That's quick! A good start but not the whole story...

 

And the real reason why it's important?

did the boss of nissan own or race it to victory in 1958? which in turn brought in the cash to save the company and carry on and develop zed's......or sommit....

It has better bodywork than most UK zeds?

It has better bodywork than most UK zeds?

Nope - as you can see from the crew names. But close enough, give this man a ceeegar :dance:

Mr K was the marketing exec who pushed for Nissan to enter the Mobilgas - their first Rally. He got the job of running the team. And they won their class! Without this car, that team and their win, no Zeds....

I see Red was considered faster then as well!!!
