Adam,
I’ve been waiting for you to run the roadster at Laguna and it was great to watch you pass the Alfa’s. The car looks and sounds awesome. keep up the fun and posting videos. me and my 68 will be watching.
Beautiful work Les.
Cheers
Adam, cool roadster. I had a 1966 1600 I ran in the SCCA solo series. Running at Riverside back in the day, priceless.
Are we going to get to see a ‘Featured Car’ segment on Adam’s new CSL soon? I was keeping up with the podcasts and was pretty excited to hear he was looking for one and awaiting more info once it was acquired. Thanks for all the shows across the board guys, great work.
PS, just thew a few Amazon nickels your way and it’s nice to have a way to give back.
Enjoy
A true period piece !

Hey Adam – Everytime I see a photo of this incredible and beautiful No. 44 BRE 2000 Datsun Roadster, together with all its unique history with Pete Brock’s BRE Team, I remember it fondly. Kinda makes me want to reach for a shop rag to clean her up again. It is appreciated that you acquired this historic race car … which has been so masterfully restored by Les Cannaday !!!
BTW, back then while it was being developed and then racing-season campaigned, you would have loved the powerful sounds of the 2000 motor getting its workouts on the BRE engine dyno.
Adam, I had a 69 baby blue 2000 roadster in the 90s and that car brings back the memories!!!!!! Thanks for sharing and keeping the weird shit the few of us love alive…..that car is graham Parker in a sea of Duran Duran
