Hi there,

I'm new to this amazing club site and thought I would share a few pics of my 1976 sunny (120y) B211. It was imported in 1980 to the UK where it picked up the usual rust problems that nearly killed off these cars in Britain. It sat in a Cornish garage for 23 years before being rediscovered last year. There are only 22 120ys on the road in this country and I doubt any of them are B211s but I hope there are some. It is currently awaiting respray after all the rot was cut out and new metal fabricated. Big job but I want it to last. Its in surprisingly good condition for a 40 year old

That rust looks bad, good job saving it!

It is a nice example of a 1976-1977 B211. There are no B211 in my country (USA), even the 1976-1978 were listed as B210 on the Model Number Plate

What does the dash & gauges look like?

I'll post some dash picks once it is back from the garage

It is immaculate inside

You just have to love places where they put salt on the roads, Thank God the only issue here is salt spray from the fact too many people live alongside the Ocean where you can gauge in 10 kilometer increments how far away from the coast a car lived.

So like the Southern States in the US we do have cars that live away from the salt,Not quite as lucky in Europe or the UK as the photos show.

Yes, north eastern states are notorious for salting the roads (something to do with ice). Is why we hear guys saying "there are no Datsun where I live"... there are no cars from the 2000s either!

Average car lifespan
* Eastern USA: 6 years
* Western USA: 11 years

here is that picture of the B211 JDM dash as requested
