Not to ruffle anybody's feathers, but I was driving around Fort Hancock
(now a national park) on Sandy Hook a few months ago, and I saw what looked
like (from a distance) an MGA. Well, needless to say, I sped up and trailed
them for a while and to my great shock, I saw the word DATSUN stencled on
the back.

I had never known that a Japanese company had ever made such a beautiful
car. Not even the Rx-7 can hold a candle to it.

Anybody on this list have/know of the car? It was a black roadster (of
course).. might have been a 1600, I'm not sure. Located in the Monmouth
County, NJ area?

I'd love to see one of those up close.
