Older Skylines

[Paul 8v]

How many of the older models of skyline (before the R32) are there in the UK and how hard are they to get hold of? I've seen pictures of R31's and R30 that look great but I don't think I've ever seen one on the road. I'm sure the really old ones are worth fortunes, I've tried to look for some on japanese auction site but I can't seem to find a good site.

Cheers

i think there's only a handful really..
there's a KPGC10 race car, and i'm sure there's a few R30s about.

but there are few Datsun 240ks about... essentially rebadged skyline.

Those 240k's look really nice, I wonder how many non-rotten ones exist! Does anyone know of any decent sites for importing older japanese cars, I can only seem to find ones for Mazda camper vans and mainstream stuff.

I'm seriously tempted by one of the older skylines (hakosuka style) but it's just the parts must be a nightmare to get hold of. Hopefully the insurance won't be so bad though

Love the deep dish wheels on this one! They aren't too dear when they're converted to £'s. They look so 80's, designed with a set-square
