Datsun 120Y Estate

[Guest Breadvan72]

Just noticed this.  Apols if already on here.  Nor for me, but looks rather excellently shitey.

 

"Keeps up with modern traffic."  Hmmmm....

PS:  I reckon it says "skizzer " all over it.

Love it  the old man had a van and as a  spotty 14 year old with heavy foot it would quite easily swap ends (wasn't skilled enough to hold a drift)

It'd keep up with modern* traffic* around here in reverse with the brakes stuck on.

That's been for sale for ages, I like how the wheel trims are completely different on each side.

[Guest Breadvan72]

That makes it even better!

Having owned one before I'd say it would be ok around town, but rather scary on the motorway

That looks nice, is there anything majorly wrong with it, does anyone know?

I'll tell you what's wrong with it, it's £1850 with a very short ticket and the estate comes a very, very poor second to the 120Y of my dreams,

a 3 door coupe in that dazzling blue with the dustbin lid wheel trims.

Learned how to weld,fill,paint and generally bodge one of these as a youth,

 

Dad bought a 7 year old example in 1986,it was well crispy,

but with constant attention to the crusty body work it lasted up untill 1990.

 

It died a spectacular death,rear ended by a hurtling Fiesta,whilst stopped in traffic.

The poor Sunny got shunted forward into the rear of a newish Prairie,destroyed at both ends

 

Despite the galloping rot,and bodged repairs,all 5 of us got out of the sunny uninjured.

The rear doors wouldn't open so me and my sisters had to get out through the windows.

 

The fiesta was fucked and it's driver injured(head/windscreen interface)

the prairie had a dented rear hatch,but otherwise ok.

 

The poor sunny was bent in the middle,ruined.

 

Still drove the 15 miles home though,

try that with your modern shite

 

 

(I still have 3 of the hubcaps,that match those on that sunny in the advert too )

The left ones or the right ones?

[junkyarddog]

The left ones,somewhere......

I have seen this, in a car park and chatted to the owner.

 

It is fab, really nice.  Reckon there is some filler in there.  Which is hardly a surprise all things considered!
