Typical in Japanese style. Take an MGB and copy it but make a much better car that is to my eyes prettier.

Then they did it again with the Lotus Elan and did an even better job - it’s lasted 4 generations and keeps getting better (and dead reliable),

That Datsun is a crazy pretty car, my goodness.

This is at a car collection. My buddy works for the Owner's business and goes to his car collection to do building maintenance. Has all kinds of rare and very old cars.

I've seen one of those Datsuns before, I knew I had, and it took a good 30 minutes to find this photo. This was May 2008 at a friend's place in Denver. I met her that day and never saw her again, and that's her Datsun and dog.

WAT is that? Do you climb in the windshield, or maybe the back, to get in? And where’s the engine??

No guesses needed. Met a bunch of guys for a periodic car nerd coffee. Most drove their dirty winter cars.

That’s a ‘66 912 that has everything but the body swapped from a 911. It’s loud, sounds great.
And a late 70’s Land Cruiser with original engine and a replacement aluminum body tub.
A ‘59 Bugeye Sprite and a Triumph GT6 with original paint also showed. We’ve had NO snow, it’s weird.
