We haven't had a moment to spare just getting back from JCCS and getting ready to fly to Jakarta Monday for the IDD (Indonesia Datsun Diecast group's) OktoBREfest dinner Thursday 10/23 and the Indonesian Diecast Expo 10/25-26. We WILL post a recap of JCCS when we get a moment. It was amazing. Super special with all 5 remaining BRE team members there.

In the meantime, we need to let you know of these two special IDD models and Leen Customs pins made for their dinner and the Expo so everyone possible gets their tickets to the IDD OktoBREfest dinner before they sell out (100-200 people expected). Get details here IDD Official.

BRE cars are arriving as we prepare to caravan to Long Beach tomorrow for JCCS! We had a call this morning from a follower who gets our newsletters, posts, etc to ask if John Morton will be at the event Saturday. Pay attention here! We've said it before, we're saying it again... the remaining 5 BRE team members are going to make a rare group appearance at the BRE tent from 10:15 to 11:15 for an autograph session (that includes John). This is probably the last public appearance the BRE team members will make as a group. You NEED to get to this show Saturday! Show starts at 9am but get in line early as it's going to be busy and you want to get to the BRE tent no later than 10:15. https://japaneseclassiccarshow.com/

Happy Friday, BRE fans! As you may know, BRE was founded by Peter Brock in December of 1965, which means we are fast approaching our 60th Anniversary.

Happy Friday, BRE fans! Whether you're building a new BRE Tribute Car, refreshing an old race car, or trying to keep all 4 wheels of your hot-rod Z on the ground (if you've taken a Z up to speed you know they lift!) you need genuine BRE Body Parts!

Our Datsun 510 and 240Z body parts are identical to the parts Peter Brock fabricated in the 1960's for the BRE Datsun race team- because the molds were created using his old blueprints and under his careful scrutiny!

In addition, Peter designed an updated version of his Z rear spoiler (slightly wider and taller) for performance street cars and made a version of the original BRE 240Z Front Spook (Peter's combination of Spoiler and Scoop) for the later 260Z/280Z front end.

Please note: if you plan to race, stick to the "Original" rear spoiler for your Z, as some organizations require cars to use "period" parts and may not allow the updated Brock-Designed Rear Spoiler.

All parts are available in fiberglass or carbon fiber. Fiberglass parts will need to be sanded and prepped for paint, carbon parts are finished in a glossy clearcoat and ready to install!

Happy Friday, BRE fans! With the recent buzz around one-off items we've found in Peter's archives, we thought we'd take today to remind you that we offer historical, high-quality prints from the BRE Photo Archives year-round on our website. These prints are made directly from scans of Peter's original slides, some of which are now over 60 years old!

The photo showcased here is the "Transition Year: 1970"

In 1970, the BRE team was ecstatic at the thought of racing Datsun's stunning new 240Z sports car. At the beginning of the 1970 season however the Zs were not yet ready.

John Morton and John McComb continued to run the BRE Datsun 2000 Roadsters while the Zs were being built. The wait will have been worth it. At the end of the '70 season, John Morton would win the C Production Championship with his #46 240Z racer.

This photo was taken during an unusually cold spell at Road Atlanta the week of the ARRC races. John McComb, a midwest native, recalls; "It was cold, like 45 degrees. I felt sorry for those CA boys".

This stunning piece of history is available with many others here: https://www.brelegacy.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=B&Category_Code=brearchivephotos240zs
