Great to have a bit of history mate.
I managed to trace the fella who imported my Coronet , who passed on some pics when it was in Texas. :thumbright:

While I'm here. Are there any Rosco cars over here ?

The only one i know of mate is a '78 Fury over in Northern Ireland although the description list it as '78 Fury but also shows photo's of a '75/76 Coronet but i think the Coronet was Wil Datsun's old one??

Cheers for link Dan.
Looks like you'll be the only UK Rosco then !
Got to get yourself a Flash mate.
If wifey didn't work I'd have one you could borrow. My mate has an Ava , but she's a bit shy. Great dogs ... ;)

Yes i hope so mate,nice to be a bit of a rarity in the UK. See plenty of General's,so nice to have something a little different. Also lots of Fury's over hear but never see any of the late 70's Fury's. 8-)

My two little girls would absolutely love a 'Flash' dog mate,they love the Basset Hounds,but we only got a small flat plus have a cat already so would'nt be fair,but hopefully in the near future. :thumbright:
