You're beginning to quote Alan, word for word !
What both of you seem to have (conveniently ?) forgotten is that those 3x......and frankly there are several more that raced but don't get the same limelight.....those 3x were only part of the story ! Alan consistently tells us that in order to love our Zs, we cannot disassoicate them from the rest of the cars Nissan was producing and ultimately selling alongside the Z here in Europe (alright, the UK for the leave voters) under the Datsun badge !
Nor can you ignore the road cars and all the other cars that had some form of Sammy treatment and also the selling of parts, mechanical, bodywork, wheels.....it's ALL part of the story just as Dick Barbour racing, BRE - different scale perhaps but dodn't the British love the underdog, the railway-arch garage national racing, getting their cars in the press, club racing - stirring others to continue racing and development.....! It has all added to create a story and I don't understand the continued attacks ? In th end you're both only fanning the flames to keep the Samuri name alive and in the forefront of peoples' minds which seems counter-productive to your wishes.
So there are LHD shells ? Read again Will Galliers' ebay advert text...he's been bringing these in since 1982....to and for whom do you think ? How many UK V5 cars then do you think are still original RHD shells ? Wake up chaps - nothing is new and uninvented - MZR are using LHD shells and I bet many other Z 'specialists' based in the UK and taken that route too.
And yet your fling some dirt at only one 'cos it suits you.....just whom are you trying to manipulate the paur of you with your half-truths and biased opinions.
C'mon, get real, accept what is, let it be and move on.
Yeah Jason.....coming over to see it in mid-April.
