yeah 50 were only made, your a lucky bastard to see one...and on the street.

bulge was there to clear the intakes.

Those Astons were worth serious telephone number figures at one stage, I think that Rowan Atkinson managed to crash one too, like oh so many other cars he has owned.

Was nearly a revolt at one stage because the price given upon its release and the actual price people had to pay when the cars were later built was nearly double.

Can anyone guess this one.....

[vrfour]

WTF?? A VL front obviously, but the car itself is a Nissan of some sort - an old 300C or something?? They're 300ZX alloys.

Jebus, what the hell is that? The only thing that comes to mind looking at the back of that is a pintara (for some strange fucked up reason)

[ChrisS]

Both not even close,its factory and mass produced with no mods what so ever.

[Datto-Zed]

That's an L-series under the bonnet...

[Datto-Zed]

Opel something?

[ChrisS]

Nope,not a Opel anything..

[Datto-Zed]

Well, if that's an L6, then I'd imagine it'd be a nissan/datsun?

[KanaL]

Datto-Zed, thats exactly what i was thinking! Still got no idea. Any hints?

[Datto-Zed]

Were the any export markets for the VL?

You got it,it's a Datsun.
This is the only other pics I know of that are the same car (but with different front sheet metal.

heres a front veiw
And a quote from a web site one of the boys from SC dug up...

C31 - November 1980
The 1980 Laurel was the last to be badged a Datsun in export markets. This time the sedan and four door hardtop remained but there was no coupe version. Initially the C31 came with a choice of 1800cc, 2000cc and 2800cc engines plus a choice of 2000cc or 2800cc diesels. The styling was pretty uninteresting but it was not an ugly car, most typical of Nissan range for the 1980's. the C31's got a minor facelift in late '81 and in 1982 the Z18 engined models were replaced by CA18's. Export models could be bought with carburettor L20A or L24 engines or a diesel. the hardtop models came with IRS and sedans had live axles.

I'm impressed,it took the SC members longer to work it out.

Edit-BTW those pic's were taken in Nowra on the South Coast of Sydney and has had NSW rego.
