Fyse’s Laurel
This Datsun Laurel isn’t just a super-cool retro,
it’s got a cracking story behind it too. Built by
wheel refurb legend Fyse, the fella was originally
dreaming of Hakosuka and Kenmeri Skylines
but the values have gone too nuts. After a bit of
research, he figured that this generation of Laurel
shared a lot of its engine and chassis architecture
with the iconic Skylines, but was more readily
available and cheaper. So he bought a Laurel...
and it was a bit of a basket case. Having never
restored a car before, Fyse called in a bunch of
mates and they put this thing together as a team.
The results are pretty awesome, aren’t they? And
he’s stuck the 2.8-litre motor from a Nissan Patrol
in there, so it makes all the right noises...
E21 & bike
Definitely one of our favourites of the whole show – not least
because the owner had gone to the effort to build a custom
colour-coded motorbike on a custom trailer to match it! The
E21 just oozes class, with so many cool details – the 2.7-litre
motor’s wearing a cheeky turbo, the interior features a full
carbon dash, a CAE shifter and some beautifully trimmed
seats, and we’re loving the black-and-silver exterior colour
scheme and those 17-inch Chevlon Racing wheels. Pure class
through-and-through.Just a small snapshot of
