Your guess is a good as mine. I really wanted this car for myself. I have a thing with yellow and this car just screams quality.

i think that car was imported there. if you look at the wiper arms, its made for a LHD car. as to why it was imported, who knows. probably just to be different than the rest. i love those rims though, you should know why GAT, hehe.

Yeah they're Watanabe's on there. They hold a similar significance here in Japan as the old Ronals did back in the day.

Datsuns are TIMELESS, just like Porsche 993's!

Adamo, why didn't you end up buying it?
