Nice write up of Mitch's SPL213.
Mitch is modest about this roadster but it is considered the BEST of all the remaining 212-213 roadsters.
The plum colored example in the NISSAN USA collection is not nearly as complete/correct.
Dan Z and other knowledgeable 212-213 forum members know the quality of this restoration.
Here are a few pictures from the 2004 Mt Shasta Roadster meet.

Thanks for sharing, that was a great article. I didn't realize that the 212-213 roadsters were only built for the US market.

From the photos I've seen over the years, Mitch's car is amazing. Having owned 4 of the ~288 made, Mitch's car is just fantastic.
