hi channie and welcome to a great site about the datsun motor car.
you will find out a lot of valuable info and some great pics.
You should be able to pick up a Datsun 1200 in very good condition for the price you are prepared to pay.
The 1200 coupe is the pick of them, as they are a very sporty looking model.
The auto's are much rarer than a manual but they are out there.
Anyway great to help you out if I can.

welcome to the site.. But im sorry to say the thing you are looking for a just got it.. A mates granny owned it and it is an auto but not for long.. Anyway good luck with finding one but if you cant find one i might sell mine to you for the right price good luck

thanks for your comments
just out of curiosity why are u converting a auto to a manual? wouldnt it just be easier to buy a manual or do u just want to play?

you lose a lot of power with an auto car
and its not that hard to change and its always fun to work on a datto

ohhh ok cool. i forgot to say that im not a fan of the coupe

that only leaves sedan or ute and im not sure if i have ever seen an auto ute

yehh i like the sedan's and was wondering what you think of the 1600's and 200B's?

hi channie
We all love to play with something in our life times.

Converting an auto to manual isn't all that hard if you have the know how and all the right parts.
Also small automatic cars like datsuns, toyota's etc are less powerful then their manual brothers.
As with a manual you can hold it in gear for longer and therefore get more power. Also auto's are a little bit more heavier on fuel as people tend to put their foot down harder to get the power.

anyway hope you find one soon.

GO THE DATTO

1600 are verry good cars
200b are ok to probebly a bit more comfy than the 1600 but i would go the 1600
because they will always hold their value better
