The following pages chart the history of a Datsun 2000 roadster which has been campaigned with some success at all levels since 1968, including five National Runoffs. I am indebted to the owners and campaigners George Franklin (one Runoffs) and Dave McDowell (three Runoffs), for the images you see here and for the insight into the roadster's history since Col. Franklin first started campaigning her in 1968.

Should you have any further information or images which you think would benefit these pages please E-Mail me.
