Hello,

A couple of days ago, I posted a note and mentioned a Datsun Roadster based 
kit car.  A few folks asked for more information, so I dug it out.  This is 
from the September 2000 issue of Kit Kar magazine - page 58:

Classic Antique Replicar Specialist
Dept. KC
10712 N. May Ste. D
Oklahoma City, OK  73120
(405)755-5522

Model: Dio Tipo 61
Donor: Triumph TR-3, TR-4, TR-6, MGA, Datsun Roadster or Fairlady, VW or 
tube chassis.
Length: Variable
Width: 58"
Height: 38"
Wheel Base: 88 - 102"
Weight: 1400 - 2000lbs

Comments: a wide range of donor vehicles and engines can be used to build 
this sporty kit.

The picture shows a car that resembles a Maserati Tipo 61 Birdcage, but the 
front end looks more like the Lister Jaguar imho.  Either way, it could be 
the ticket if you have a rustbucket and want something different!  In most 
states, since the chassis is registered as a Datsun, you can keep it that 
way.
