The Nissan Patrol G60
was produced in short (left), medium and long
wheel-base versions.
It had a 3-speed manual transmission and 2-speed transfer case
with part-time four wheel drive.
The motor was a 6-cylinder unit of approximately 4 litres capacity;
many have now been converted
to large capacity V8's.
1978 Nissan Patrol MWB
Styling was of the "straight up and down school"
but the proportions worked out quite nicely.
The shackle pins on the leaf springs were of the
kind that require greasing. The shackle plates were at the front
of the front springs.
A fully functional and slightly modified G60 patrol
circa 1968 which has an original 37,500 miles on the clock from new and
as far as I know has never had major mechanical work done.
I am the second owner and
currently drive the vehicle enthusiastically to work every day;
here it is at
the "Cherry Venture" Noosa Heads Queensland, Australia

The Nissan Patrol had a reputation for simplicity and general toughness.
It was lacking a real crawler low-first gear ratio
on account of the 3-speed gearbox but the engine was a good slugger.
Rust is the main enemy and you do not often see
one as tidy as the Nissan Patrol MWB above.
Holden Astra Convertible Turbo(Highly recommended sports car), from $49,990
This European convertible is a stunning car in so many ways. It's a great drive (with high performance 147kw Turbo). It's practical and apart from a small boot has abundant room for 4 or 5 at a pinch. It's loaded with standard features: air, power windows / steer, cruise, 6 speaker CD, ABS, traction control, airbags & more. It also looks great! My Managing Director's lovely wife owns one of these & I have no hesitation in recommending this car to you. A true bargain for a high performance Euro Convertible.
