how many 1200's do you see floating around, compared to other models, compared to anything, they are just a kick arse little car, GO THE UTE, ahem sorry, rwd, reasonable stock power, and great for little people like me!

I like mine because it's really good on gas, it's fun to drive, and hardly anyone else has one.

smal point of order. the GTR was a Nissan. These models (C10 and C110) came after the Prince/Nissan merger. S54 and updated S57 were the last Prince Skylines.

Ah, but they are not better ... that presumes some kind of objective standard. The 1200 is really just a total package that's nice.

Objectively we can say the 1000 is lighter, the 1600 handles better, the B210 gets better fuel economy, etc. But drive a B110 hard, and you'll come to understand why we like them. If you drive a 1200 like a granny you might not notice its good points.

actually one the nicest 1200 i've ever driven was a low mileage, bone stock 2dr sedan

harry, the pgc10 was badged as a Nissan, but was developed by PMC prior to, during and after the merger

you'll find the development and styling of all models of Skyline continued to be done by a seperate design team (basically Prince) after the merger.

The point is they are Nissans. They were released by Nissan after acquiring Prince, and were badged Nissan - they're Nissans!

I'd have to say a pro is that it's a rare car.
Its being rare also makes it a con.
I will assume that a 510 has more interchangable parts with other cars than a 1200.
I like the fact that you can't just open a catalog and find anything you want.
It's a challenge. You have to research. You have to go to the junkyards with a tape measure. You have to understand why speed parts, easily available for other cars, work and how are you going to adapt it to work on a 1200.
