[Roadsters] '68 Two-liter in Victoria B.C.

[John Wightman]

A couple sometimes show at the Oak Bay car show, and at Vancouver Island
Datsun Enthusiast functions (http://www.vanisledatsun.com/)

Unfortunately, several of them are driveway ornaments - slowly reverting
back to the elements from which they came...!

Dave, where/when did you get your car? Is it running? I can't recall seeing
it around town. Mine's unfortunately one of the driveway hulks at the
moment, waiting for me to get time to continue great things..

You can add me to the Victoria BC roadster list: metallic steel-blue,
'69 2000 (SU).  Recognizable features are iron-cross Z wheels and
grey-blue fabric seat upholstery.

John:  do these 'at least 8' roadsters every get together?

cheers,
Dave Riedel
