Spottedlaurel Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 They're not that dull! Fairly early, looks like it's the slightly more basic trim as they usually have chrome wheel caps. I like the way the fastback estate changes the look of them, the saloon appears to sit completely differently.That one was for sale in the Auto Trader back in February.

Milford Cubicle Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I like, my parents used to have one and it was amazingly reliable, refined and quick (1.5 powah) after several years of a 1.3 Shuvit. It rusted itself to bits though - the suspension mounts first, then the sills turned to powder.This one doesn't seem that rusty, looks a good 'un. Is it a 1.3 or 1.5, and does it have the brown interior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten2001 Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 SL, you're right! These people bought it, their car was nicked so they bought this from the Autotrader on the same day, any idea how much it was up for?It's a two owner car, previous one died and it was garaged it's whole life, biege with biege trim, LW/MW push button radio, 1.5, the hatchback doesn't lock so it opens with a wire and the hatchback door card is missing, the rear wobbles when driving which I put down to bushes (?) but it is strikingly original and honestly rust free!

Torsten2001 Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Ta Mr 1725, Leicester area?Lord Pogweasel, I think it's the 5 speeder, didn't get there! 1.5 is the cheaper bracket... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they're 1488cc, and definitely 5-speed. In fact they have ludicrously tall gearing, even 4th is an overdrive ratio.Good idea Pog, longish but not tall loadbay would be ideal for survey gear, should be vaguely economical, and it's beige.

Guest Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Ta Mr 1725, Leicester area?Yes its a garage at burbage-Leicestershire. (Near hinckley-junction 1 m69).

Seems to be rarer like that. There are so many Datsun estate variations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r.welfare Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Thought you owned a Sunny Coupe in the dim and distant past - or was that Nissan-badged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten2001 Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Oh yes, the Sunny Coupe was a Nissan, I sold it on the bay for 200, a charming little car nicknamed the paedomobile by my colleagues which turned up again on ebay last week with a shot motor. At least the Datsun will be a tad more practical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
