NZeder's Datsun 260z Build Thread

Found a blog on the web this morning while waiting for a job to run on the PC. It was a small little page showing pictures of 1976 ProdSport race from Calder Park in Australia.

Here is a link to the blog

Some might enjoy the other cars in the pictures - but for me it shows a full Group 4 FIA spec 240z running in this part of the world in period which is just great.

The car is said to belong to Fernando D'Alberto?

Does anyone else have info on this car in question?

Cool shots Mike.
Even the Corvette's running the homologated big flares and is that a Bolwell in front of the Datsun in the third picture?

I think that Corvette is the Bolwell again. Similar flying buttress rear...

I believe it might be an MG let me see if I can find more pics - blue #5 Bolwell Nagari Hardtop is Ranald McLurkin. The white Bolwell convertible is Alan Edwards

Also Ferdie is the Uncle to Tony D'Alberto of V8 SC fame. In 2011 Ferdie still had ownership of the Datsun too. Might have to look into that more - I was thinking of selling the road 260z once that is complete - however now I am thinking - one T&C standard body based car and one Schedule K FIA Group 4 replica like the Ferdie car now where is my winning lotto ticket.....
