It was almost 5 years ago now that I saw a two page spread of
Rob's Beddington's Datsun 1600 in The Ultimate Classic Car Book
when I was browsing the book section at Costco of all places. A
year or so later I got a glimpse of Rob on the cover of Practical
Classics with his white 2000.
I am pround to help Rob in anyway on his website. He is truly one
of the most knowledgable and helpful people I've found in
researching Roadster history and his Register has been
instrumental in getting the Roadster in so many books and
magazines. You must check out his amazing site which contains
photos and information you will not find anywhere else on or off the
web.

> Hello all
>
> Latest update from England
>
> I'm delighted to announce that from 29/1/2000 the Classic Fairlady Roadster
> Register website is being hosted by Greg Valazza's award winning DATSUN.ORG -
> the new Home Page URL is:-
>
> <A HREF="http://www.datsun.org/fairlady/";>http://www.datsun.org/fairlady</A>
>
> This is an exciting move for the Register. From publication of the first
> webpages some seven months ago we have tried to give a background to the
> scene in Europe whilst at the same time giving an insight into items such as
> the Roadster's worldwide racing history. Very little of DATSUN.ORG's site
> content is duplicated by the Register's pages and both Greg & myself see the
> sites as an excellent compliment to each other.
>
> (I'll agree right away that the CFRR website will never compare with
> DATSUN.ORG in it's style, but hopefully the content will always give a fresh
> insight into different aspects of the Roadster).
>
> New pages will include items on the S211/SPL212/213 Fairlady series and Jack
> Scoville's ARRC winner - anyone got any pics of the Jack Scoville 2000?
>
> For Webmasters with any existing links to the old site, these will be
> automatically redirected for the time being. (An update of the link would be
> greatly appreciated as the redirect won't be in place indefinitely).
>
> Any feedback (good or bad) is always appreciated and if there's any topic
> anyone would like to see covered please let me know. We'll E-Mail you with
> further updates as they happen.
>
> In the meantime many thanks indeed to Greg for his help in getting this
> project off the ground and for his input on the techy side of the process - I
> guess I'm learning something every day.
>
> Regards for now and here's to a bright future for Roadsters (both on and off
> the web!).
