Hi All.
Allan was kind enought to send me a pre-release copy of the disc. It is
a great resource for anyone with an old Datsun.
Going through some of the Advertising will have you laughing out loud
at some of the things that would no longer be considered PC.
The old pricelists are guaranteed to induce a feeling of nostalgia
and "if only..."
For restorers the original pics will also help sort problems on what
the cars had and looked like when new.
Best of all, it is great to see this info being revived and diseminated
around the wider Datsun community.
Well done Alan.
**Disclaimer: Alan and I are both Australian and we like old Datsuns.
Other than that we have no connection.
Regards,
Phill Brook

Subject: New Early Datsun CD
> Greetings Datsun Owners,
> I just thought I would let everyone know that I have just
> completed my
> latest project, a CD called "Early Datsun in Australia".
> The project has taken over a year to assemble and has involved a
> greatdeal of research to ensure that it is the most accurate
> reference guide
> available for Early Model Datsuns. It also includes a large part
> of my
> own collection of Nissan/Datsun memorabilia plus numerous items
> sent to
> me by Datsun enthusiasts around Australia and around the world.
> The "Early Datsun in Australia" CD contains three main sections. The
> first of these is a model guide that lists every Nissan and Datsun car
> and commercial vehicle sold in Australia before 1970, with over 150
> different models are listed. The model guide includes a photo of each
> different model, a visual identification guide to help tell the
> differences between each individual model and a brief listing of each
> vehicle's specifications. Due to the fact that Australia received the
> majority of the Nissan/Datsun model range during that era the
> information included should be of interest to Datsun enthusiasts in
> other countries as well.
> The second section is the sales brochures section which includes
> scansof over 100 different sales brochures from the late 1950s and
> the 1960s,
> including over 30 sports car sales brochures.
> The third section is the advertising section which includes
> scans of
> over 200 different magazine and newspaper advertisements for
> Nissans and
> Datsuns from the late 1950s and the 1960s, including over 60
> sports car
> advertisements.
> The CD also includes a brief look at other Japanese cars that were
> sold in Australia before 1970 and a list of the recommended new car
> prices for most models sold in Australia during the 1960s.
> The "Early Datsun in Australia" CD is available for A$23.00
> includingpostage and packaging in Australia, and for A$25.50
> (about US$13.00)
> including postage and packaging to the United States. Discounts are
