2018 marked the 6th time The Donington Historic Festival has been the stage for the Samuri Gathering, probably the biggest meeting of Datsun Z owners to take place in the UK. With over 30 cars on show (more classics than almost any other stand!) the weekend was a great success – so much so that nobody had time to take notes for the report!

…and this lovely dark green Z built by Fourways Engineering on behalf of a customer won ‘Car of the Weekend’:
Here’s just some of the cars that were in attendance:
