Thanks for getting some pics up so quick Rob. Just a fab day. I guess many of us are still shaking off some wind burn !! I've gotta say the pic of the day was a real toss up between the Isuzus, 'yotas, and daddo's, plus a rare Skyline and the Silvia. Though the near minta Flori topped the lot I reckon. That pose in the Bay has brochure written all over it, could as well have been somewhere in Tokyo 1969.

I'll get around to getting some pics up soon.

Yeah good work on the pics! I haven't unloaded my camera for a couple of months.... it's going to take all night to sort out all the photos!

Good day and the highlight would have been those Datsuns - a 1964 Fairlady 1500, 1967 1600 Sports and 1970 2000 Sports plus the 1967 Silvia - all in a row, all immaculate and all owned by the same lucky bastard!

Cheers,

Dave

Great pic's great effort guys

[degruch]

Aw, crap...didn't even know it was on!

That Silvia makes a regular appearance at B2B and other shows...it's a beauty. I wonder if it is the bright yellow one that was getting around Adelaide in the mid-late 1980's? And who's is the Florian?

Looks like a nice day for a pastey individual like me to get fried.

Nice pics, thanks RobSA.

Cheers,
Duane

Hi degruch,

I was talking to the owner of the Silvia - that particular one was red, but it wasn't the red one that had Datsun 1200 tail lights and jellybean mags that did the Bay to Birdwood a couple of times.

The Florian is mine!

Cheers,

Dave

Ooooo...so there still another Silva out there hiding from me.

Sweet Florian! I bid on a very original maroon one at MGS auctions about 5 years ago...have you seen it around at all? Had all it's green tinted glass intact, leaking oil everywhere, but apart from the hubcaps was very complete and original. I bid $200 in abstentia, then snuck along to the auction where it passed in at $150...they then told me it had a reserve. Crooks. Probably fobbed it off for scrap.

Did you check out the Florian at Heinze's? I had one good headlamp, which would be tough to find I'd imagine.

The Stout truck looks kinda cool 'rat' style.

Cheers,
Duane

How about this one I just found

[PR91]

oh god........... what were isuzu thinking that day??
my opinion... that front end treatment ruins what was a pretty car.
each to their own tho!

[mrflibbles]

id drive that monster! gotta love the unique styling......

[GTtoo]

Digressing a little, but yeah, PR91, who statesman"d the front end

Unsure when that model came out, but it ran thru to 1983 when it was replaced with Isuzu's version of the J-car (aka Camira here in Australia) the Isuzu Aska.

So yeah, it was Isuzu who Statesmanified it!

[PR95]

It is listed as a 1982 and is for sale on goonet has no price on it.
