Listers, I purchased my C30 Laurel today and it will be arriving home in about 2 weeks. It is stock and complete, although a little faded and surface scratched, but basically sound.
To quote from eddie rattley's ratdat history of datsun site - http://www.ratdat.com/history/1959to1972/1959to1972_pic.html "The C30 was the first Datsun Laurel and filled a gap in the model line up between the 510 and 130 models and does bear a strong family resemblance to a 510 although marginally longer and wider. The C30 was a very sophisticated car for 1968 and featured an 1800cc OHC crossflow 108hp engine (type G18) of Prince design. There was also independent suspension all round with the classic semi trailing arm rear end of the 510 along with strut front suspension the same as a 240Z along with rack and pinion steering ...unusual in a Nissan sedan. The car was a medium sized executive car and as such was quite luxurious and smooth riding while still retaining a sporting feel." Interpretation : - A factory 510 limo with rack and pinion steering (stock in 1968)!!!! Youve just got to love older datto's!!!!!!!! Da, da, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Haaaah!
