BRE Datsun

04/17/2026

Happy Friday, BRE fans! Have your visited the BRE Datsun Archives lately? We offer high-quality prints scanned straight from Peter Brock's slides. Sizes vary depending upon the images themselves, with common sizes being 8"x10", 7.5"x11", 11"x14", and 11"x17". They look great framed in the garage above your Datsun, in a display case with your collection of BRE merchandise, or as a gift to the BRE Datsun fan in your life.

We're even offering select photos signed by Peter at no additional charge in limited quantities, like this shot taken at Road Atlanta in 1970 aptly titled "Transition Year" as it marks the shift from BRE's use of the Datsun 2000 Roadster to the new 240Z, both of which were raced during the '70 season.

Take advantage of these deals while they last: https://www.brelegacy.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=B&Category_Code=brearchivephotos

UPDATE! We just found out there was an issue with this model on our website which made it impossible to order. It's been fixed and you can get yours now! As of right now we are down to having 17 left due to a group order for 25 yesterday (which came in through a phone call so wasn't affected by the problem).

Original message: I don't remember the last time I ever put a model kit together, maybe when I was 16 and making radio control airplanes. I do however love looking at great BRE Model Kits on the shelf in my office. I still have a few of the Ebbro BRE Model kits from the '70s, some in their original plastic wrap and one no longer wrapped.
I love how Datsun trucks are gaining in popularity and this is a great model kit of a BRE Datsun truck whether you care to build it or just admire it.
When ordering you can request my autograph, either on the plastic wrap or directly on the box and we'll remove the wrapper.
They just arrived and we have 46 to offer (an actual coincidence). https://www.brelegacy.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=B&Category_Code=models_sub_ModelKits

In the ‘70s, BRE had logo’d car covers created to protect the BRE Datsun race cars in paddock areas. You asked us to recreate them. Now they’re here… and you knew we’d have to make them better!

The car covers that in the ‘70s were made only for fair weather use have now been upgraded to today’s state-of-the art fabrics for indoor and outdoor all-weather protection. The 5-layer cover fabric used for these covers has a soft touch, and at half the weight of similar covers, it’s easy to work with.

Five Layer Protection: The top layers protect against rain, snow, tree sap, bird droppings and harmful UV rays. The middle layers filter out dust and other airborne pollutants that eat paint (e.g. acid rain). The bottom layer is fully breathable, allowing air circulation that dries a wet cover quickly and prevents under-cover heat buildup. The cover is mildew resistant as well as protects your pride and joy against dings.

Custom: These covers are custom made (Datzilla itself was the model for the 510 covers). They will retain their tailored shape over time and won’t shrink or stretch. They are held tight to your car with integrated bottom-edge elastic and there are fabric covered grommets you can use to cable lock your cover without scratching your car.

Care: Cover can be washed. Due to its size a commercial sized washer is recommended and it can be air dried.

Warranty: Covers are warranted for three years after purchase for defects in materials and workmanship or the fabric becoming unserviceable during this time if cover has had normal use.

*NEW Option - Storage Bag: You requested a storage bag and now we have one. It's a one-size-fits-all car cover bag so your BRE car cover has plenty of room inside. The bag was also custom made for us so the material matches the look of the BRE Car Covers and closes with a drawstring. For an extra $16.95 just select this option and it will ship with your new cover!

Sunny Southern Nevada is already nearing 100 degree temperatures and plenty of sun, which means hat season has begun!

BRE… 60 years! Peter Brock saw these hats come into BRE and immediately exclaimed "These are the best hats we've ever done!" We agree. The gold thread of the BRE 60th anniversary wreath shimmers with the BRE logo in traditional blue and red on this high quality, attractive black hat. It's so striking, Brock hasn't stopped wearing it since.

This hat with adjustable strap that tucks inside for a clean and professional look, fits all and looks good on small heads (that would be Gayle) and large heads (that would be Peter) and everyone in-between.

Already have one and looking for a different style? We have BRE hats featuring our classic logo and celebrating our championships here: https://www.brelegacy.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=B&Category_Code=apparel_hats

Much like you can't beat a BRE Datsun on track (ask Alfa Romeo, BMW, and Porsche), you can't beat the classic BRE 3-Champions T-shirt! Available in white with full-color cars or black-and-white, with either short or long sleeves, this shirt is a staple of BRE fans' closets everywhere.

Already have one to wear? Pick up an extra with BRE Team Owner/Manager Peter Brock's signature to pin up in your garage! Simply select the option for his signature before you add it to your cart.
