Yes Datsun , 180B Coupe- chev, built & well driven by the late Kelvin Cameron.
The black#8 Arbuckles car, Lawrence Bruce.

Yes thats right, Arbuckles Camaro of Lawrence Bruce is the ex-Red Dawson Kensington Carpets car

So as has been indicated elsewhere the remains of the 180B were purchased by George Sheweiry and went into the production of his stillborn DeTomaso Pantera project.
