Fantastic historical data Michael! I love the racing Cedrics.

Ross-- since you liked that shot of the 1500s with the Cedric in the background, then you will really like this shot looking the other way with the Cedric in front and the 1500s in the background!



Enjoy,

Michael

I liked the Surrey top on the 1500 in the first picture at the back. Window at the rear and no top. Oops, its a TR4, hence the Surrey or targa top. Anyways, I think these would work great on a Datsun.

There is an article in the February Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car issue about a restore
of a 65 TR4 (2138 cc and 104 HP) with a highly sought after Surrey top factory accessory.

This article is more interesting after perusing this thread. Oh and the vehicle has Washington plates too.

As an aside for those picking on the 356's (same magazine) a 58 Porsche speedster sold for 583 K
at Pebble beach (an unrestored barn find rust abounded) ... hmm I guess I look in the wrong
barns ...

Interesting note the barn find goes for 200 K more than this one
