Grant Aitken's ShellSport Datsun 120Y

Post by Steve Holmes »

Folks, I've been contacted by Rouyden Osment who owns a cool piece of New Zealand racing history. Rouyden has Grant Aitken's first ShellSport series Datsun 120Y. He is trying to fill in the full history of the car, and was hoping people could come forward with any photos or info, including Aitken, its next owner Ken Sager, plus G Love, J Read, A Watson, J Mercer and L Hatton etc. What was its history other than ShellSport? Can you help fill in any gaps? Rouyden would love to hear from you: mailto:?subject=&body=

Rouyden has replied - he has been given some photos by Ross and had seen the ones on " Old NZ M R " - so all good.

Cheers
