Welcome !

This is my standard question to new people who say they have a 73' 510...what is the serial number?

Cool you have a 1200 also, we see very few of these.

This my second 73 I have owned....are you Colin Jackson btw?

Post by **bertvorgon** » 06 Feb 2016 07:34

No, I'm Keith Law friend of Colin and all the Specialty Engineering Gang. I have known and dealt with Specialty since 1977

As much as Colin and Dave Humphreys road raced, as do Tracey and Andy, I did the Solo and Hillclimb world with my car. How do you know of Colin?

So, what is the serial number? I ask because so far...I have the youngest documented 510 on this site, and it is a true 73.

He knows the car...It belonged to jack back....I was fortunate enough to end up with it after all these years... I am a very happy and blessed 510 owner again! Sorry I thought maybe you were him with specialty avatar..

Give me more details and I will mention it to Colin, I see him all the time at Specialty.

Serial number.......

Thanks, I'm still winning so far, I suggest your car is a 1972 but maybe sold in 1973. The door tag will tell you date of manufacture.

Or, depending on your location, the equipment spec will tell. USDM '73 510s had rear window defrost and the fiber optic headlight/wiper knobs. CDM cars had these bits throughout.

73' had the crash bars in the door also. Heavy as hell.

I have owned MANY 510s two of them 73s in my life as well as having been a nissan employee for my adult life..with that said I know what 1973 510 is

production date 12/72... I have ordered many parts for the previous owner and worked on it a bit for him...

Cool, your car is definitely up there for production.

We have a list on this site somewhere, with a showing of the range of members cars.

My car is the youngest todate, at 1/73 and we have never seen any mention of February 73 ever.
