Restoration Thread - The Standefer Datsun 1200

[Spgeti]

Incidentally, another car competing in the GT-4 race at the 1981 SCCA Runoffs was this pretty Alfa GTAj, driven by Bruce Perry. This car has history dating back to the late 1960s, where it contested the Trans-Am 2.0 class in the hands of Gaston Andrey.

Amazingly, the Alfa also now resides in New Zealand, and is just 90 minutes from where I live. Pretty cool that two old racers that competed against one-another 40 years ago are now just a couple of hours apart on the other side of the world.

The Alfa GTAj is currently under restoration.
The car has the aluminium panels as per factory fitted hence a very time consuming and expensive restoration.

The owner plans to repaint back in the livery as per the photo.

Great thread on your Datto Steve and I look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Cheers

Thanks Bruce, good to know. I imagine the Alfa would be quite a valuable car now!
