1975 Datsun Laurel Six review from UK and Ireland
"Who needed a Granada?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing was wrong with the mechanical parts, but the bodywork was full of holes and body filler where holes had been.
Scrapped due to terminal rot.
General comments?
Despite being old and very rusty the Laurel ran like a dream. The engine and gearbox were fine right up to when it was scrapped, and would have outlived the body by at least ten years!
The seats were like armchairs, and it was very luxurious. Shame the interior was brown, though.
The six cylinder engine made it very quick in a straight line. It would out-run most Capris.
These days they are practically extinct.
