Local paper had a small feature on 50 years of Datsun/Nissan. Did a
double-take at the car at the top of the article as I started noticing
similarities with the MGB. It was a Fairlady made from 62 to 70 -

I was struck by the overall similarity and particularly the rear quarter,
windscreen and 1/4 lights. What's more the front treatment is almost
identical to the BL 1800 Landcrab that came along a couple of years later
plus an MGC bonnet. When you start looking at the detailed photos they are
as different as chalk and cheese, but that first 3/4 view is uncanny.
