1970/71 Datsun 510 Race Car - Looking for history.
Jan 2nd, 2015 at 3:27pm
 
I've recently purchased a 1970/71 Datsun 510 Race Car. I'm looking to find out if anyone recognizes it.  I've been in contact with many in the community and they've all mentioned that this is worth a shot.

I've determined so far that is was in a 7hr endurance race on Oct 7, 1989.  Not 100% sure who the driver was (guessing it was the owner at the time, Rod Stacey).

I really curious if it's heritage goes back further.

Here a picture. When I'm allowed I'll link to more.

Currently, I'm compiling a todo list of repairs.

Cheers,

Wade

I should've included this in the original post.

The car has a CASC number of 2-368.

Before someone suggests that Wade contact the Scrutineering Department, it was us who suggested that he post this photo and request information via the Forum.

So, we need somebody who's been around for a while to have a look.

You might try posting in the Motorsport History in British Columbia group in Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/30072214259/
. You will need to join the group before you can post.

I've made contact last evening with the Driver/Constructor of the car last night.

I made some phone calls on Friday, and I received a call back last night. I'll be hopefully getting more information soon, that I may need verification from the community on.

Some of the long term members of the SCCBC must remember this car. I issued the log book for it in 1989. 25+ years and too many cars to remember them all.
Wade could maybe jog my memory if he posted the original driver/owner name.

I've made contact on Monday with Rod. 
I'll take your advise and see if I can contact Ian.
Did not have a lot of time to chat then, but Rod is open to speaking more.
