I was harping on a few weeks back somewhere about the good old days in the 70's when I was a teenager and the cars we loved. I remebered there was a certaion Datsun that was a "Triple S" but couldn't remember alot more about it, other than it was pretty quick of the mark for a Jap car.

Well the other week I went to the Uxbridge Car Show run by the Rotary Club, it was brilliant, loads of Car Clubs in attendance, autojumble, the lot.....BUT I found this superb condition Datsun 160J SSS. The owner had only changed the wheels and it had been garaged for many years, it's a "T" reg so I make that a 78 as I had a T reg Capri at that time.Enjoy the pics of this beauty:

Those triple "S" I was on about:

Wow, amazing condition for a car that old.

We had a friend of the family who had a Datsun 280Z or something like that, back in the 70s, and it seemed really exotic at the time (Jap cars were of course a lot rarer then). I must do some searching and figure out what it was exactly.

Thinking about it some more, I'm pretty sure that the car I was thinking of was a Datsun 180B, and it looked pretty much the same as that 160J (though I don't think it was an SSS model).
