BRE Datsun

01/27/2026

The number-one priority at BRE is our fans. We understand BRE models are some of the most popular in the hobby, so we normally impose a "one per customer/address" rule to help as many BRE fans as possible have a chance of getting a model. We feel enough time has passed since the release of this 60th Anniversary BRE Datsun 2-Pack (and the accompanying individual models) that we can remove the quantity limit, so if you've wanted to purchase one for a friend or family member but already ordered one for yourself, you are now welcome to purchase additional sets! Our website will now allow more than one of each of these models to be added to your cart.

BRE (60th anniversary) and the Japanese Classic Car Show (which celebrated their 20th anniversary this year), teamed up to create this joint anniversary two model BRE Datsun 510 set.

One model is of the Trans-Am 2.5 Championship #46 BRE Datsun 510

The other model is the Datsun 510 Peter owned personally during the BRE race years. Brock painted his personal car in this striking yellow livery and called it the Screaming Yellow Zonker after a popular candy that came in a bright yellow wrapper. When Ebro models decided to do a model of the Screaming Yellow Zonker they couldn’t call it that as it would have been trademark infringement so for their model they called it the Brock Buster. The real car was recently located and restored to original condition and attended the BRE Open House three years ago. This is the only model set ever made with the two most important BRE Datsun 510s in Peter’s life.

There are 46 numbered and autographed 2-car sets. Each set is:

Autographed by Peter and BRE Championship driver, John Morton
Numbered 01/46 thru 46/46

If you ordered one of these shirts last year you have received two e-mail updates from us saying the shirt(s) we shipped you are going to be replaced.

We will be shipping them out this week to everyone who ordered them. If you haven't gotten yours yet, you can do so now here https://www.brelegacy.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=B&Category_Code=bre_datsun_shirts

Poster Details: To celebrate BRE’s 60th anniversary this poster features all the cars designed by Peter Brock and built by BRE. From top down:

- The iconic #46 BRE 240Z: Which won SCCA C Production class Championships in ’70 and ‘71, driven by none other than John Morton.

- The Triumph TR-250K: Which Brock designed and built for Kas Kastner, Competition Director for Triumph USA to show the Brits what kind of aerodynamic, sleek car they could build on their Triumph chassis’.

- The BRE Hino Samurai: The GT car Brock designed, built and brought to the Japanese Grand Prix in 1967 with great fanfare.

- The Datsun 2000 Roadster: BRE’s first Datsun racer. It’s success in winning the Pacific Region in 1969 garnered BRE the Datsun West Coast Factory team contract.

- The BRE Hino Contessa 1300: In this car Brock won the Mission Bell 500, which was the support race for the prestigious Riverside Grand Prix in ‘66. This is where it all began. Brock’s win in this Japanese car kicked off Brock’s long and successful history with Japanese cars.
