Hi,
Just logged on to say hello from Somerset in the UK, just purchased a 1600 Roadster which hopefully - fingers crossed will arrive next week (if the French port workers are back to work), needs a bit of tidying which I think I'll hopefully manage - just finishing off a Mk1 GT6 that I've had for the past 3yrs so selling that will help fund the restoration of my roadster.

Does anyone know of any good contacts for Roadster parts etc here in the UK or any owners, would appreciate some help and tips etc for looking after these great cars.

Thanks with anticipation

Al

I've seen parts on ebay in the UK as well as parts sites if my recollection is accurate. I'll try to re-find them.

congrats! Great choice, great cars :)

Ali, I'm new to the forum as well. I just shook hands on a '70 1600. I won't get the car until Monday afternoon, and I'm hoping that the seller keeps his word. This is my first Datsun Roadster, so we'll have to compare notes. Good luck getting your car on the shores of jolly old England.

Hi NWTom.

NW as in Washington / Oregon? If so you're close to Rallye Roadster for parts and Dann is awesome, very helpful. There's some great guys in Port Coquitlam (BC) as well.

Thanks guys for your response, looks like my Datsun will arrive Sun eve or very early Mon I think the delivery bloke has to drop off some cars in London, sadly we still have a problem with the French port workers so fingers crossed.
Will keep you posted on developments and hope your car NWTom arrives ok.

Cheers for now gents
