Hello all
A few months ago I decided to limit the updates to www.fairlady.org for
various reasons. However, since that time I have received some great
information and images on roadster racers and their cars. Only this week I've
received some great slides from ex-racer Frank Cornell, and some fantastic
images from Craig Halstead, Chris Coker, Laurie as well as from non-list
members, so I guess the project just has to continue.
If anyone has any pics/information of roadster racers or race cars (or any
other rare roadster images) that they'd like to share let me know. I can't
guarantee when they'd be used on the site but I'll do my best.
In the meantime Dorling Kindersley have just published the Ultimate Sports
Cars book. 50+ models are featured - the Datsun 1600 is one. I've not seen it
yet and I'm not sure if the 2000 or 1500 get a mention, but the book uses
images from www.fairlady.org - Bob Bondurant's 1600 and Dan Parkinson's 1600,
and more. I think they also used the studio shots of the 1600 sitting in my
garage, which they've used in various books before (Ultimate Classic Car
Book, Cool Cars etc - if so I hope they've photoshopped the rust out this
time).
Thanks for the support and speak soon.
