Very nice, Steve. That Rapier makes me wonder where Datsun got the idea for the B210............

Sucker's a dead ringer for the B210. THAT was a great car. There would be many more on the road today if the drive shaft was servicable.

Apparently, the styling of the Sunbeam, was cribbed from the Plymouth Barracuda.

I'm still waiting for a model of the B210 (known in the UK as the Sunny 120Y) to be made - Unlike in the US, Datsun/Nissan have always outsold Toyota - the 120Y was the breakthrough Japanese car over here.

Steve,

Show some photos of your displays. I hope you have somewhere nice to display all your great models.
