That Datsun now ruled out.  I couldn't live with staring at that dash all day. Additionally, as someone stated earlier, Infiniti brand is aimed at the American market, which I know from experience means parts get pricey in Blighty.

I keep coming back to that (although this is beyond me, but sure I could find someone who can weld better than me and wants some pocket money).

However, once welded up, including a couple of other chassis areas that need looking at, I still have a 18yr old, 231k car that has a seemingly impossible to locate oil leak, dust for rear wheel arches and odd doors

But, its dirt cheap to own and run, capable, and fun.

My Datsun is also 9000 mile service interval which is fine, personally I wouldn`t want to leave it any longer than that.

I`m not keen either but I`m sure there will be other models and trims available or you could just carbon wrap with some shite from Hellfrauds 

No matter which market it`s aimed at it`s Japanese so prices will always be expensive, it was like that when I was riding bikes in the eighties and nothings changed.

Trouble is that you`re seriously limiting your choices with a non German four door RWD saloon

If you slap on an LPG kit its probably worth a grand . It is (was) a tidy example, although mileage must be getting on now
