Maybe that's the issue. In any event, the Ratsuns listing was sort of an experiment. It's also on 311s, CL, Facebook, etc. I did speak with Bring A Trailer, and have watched the activity on their roadster auctions. From their responses, BaT really doesn't know what to do with a 1600/2000 conversion. They don't value it as either a 1600 or a 2000, or a Solex car, or for its Datsun Comp or reliability upgrades. So I'm just proceeding privately, looking to clean out the sports car garage. - Bob Mann, '68 2000 Solex On 8/8/2023 2:46 PM, Alvin Gogineni wrote: > Your roadster is too nice for Ratsun! :) > > Have you considered listing on Bring a Trailer? > > > On Tue, Aug 8, 2023 at 7:52?AM RWM via Datsun-roadsters > wrote: > > Two weeks into the experiment, I can report that there is > apparently no, > zero, nada traffic on Ratsun classifieds... > > https://ratsun.net/classifieds/item/1840-1968-datsun-sports-2000-roadster-mikuni-solex-44phh-2-5-speed-conversion-wcomp-upgrades/ > > - Bob Mann, '68 2000 Solex > > -- > R.W.
