saw a really nice 2 door 1200 wagon on trade me looks hot wish we got them

"they can all be beautiful and usually all are"

Well Said!!!

i love pretty much every datsun but 1200 coupe is my first choice. i will never look down on any model of datsun because they can each be better than each other in so many different ways. it all depends how well they are looked after and whether or not they have descent or no modification. they can all be beautiful and usually all are

I love all dattos but the apple of my eye is my 1200 wagon!
Rarest 1200 variant made in oz and the most versatile too, me thinks. You can have 4 people in it or fold up the back seat and carry plenty of cargo.

Someone hit the nail on the head in calling the 1600 mainstream before, they seem to be the flagship Datsun, with their impressive rallying history and all. Honestly I'd love a nice one but it's been a long time since i've seen one that doesn't have a rollcage, sunroof, gay huge chrome exhaust tip and heaps of other mods.

1200 utes are getting the same way, hard to find in good nick. Mine's not too bad but many were abused - not maintained and overloaded.

yep am also a child hood fan whose parents had datsuns parents had several dattos while i was a youngster from 120y sunny bluebirds etc

the fact that i am so in to them they think its great and i have had many

including 1000,1200 ute ,1200 coupe ,180b sedan and sss coupe,200b sedan,120y sedan,bluebird ,and of course several 1600

end of the day they all wear the same badge
same quality i have now passed the datsun bug on to my kids who are now looking for one for there first car

thats what its all about not vs each other

thanks

the question i get quiet alot (witch i dont mind at all) is "i had one of these when i was younger", out of that i scored a 1200 coupe by talking to a old bloke about hes day with hes coupe, he use to race againest around with hes mate in hes cooper S,

so give the time and talk with people that love the datto's you never no what you score ....lol

Quote:lol yeah for sure mum had a 1200 coupe and bought it brand new and dad had a 1000 then he bought a coupe so at one stage we were a datto family then my brother sold the old coupe about 10 yrs ago and then i got my ute 6 months ago just wish i knew where the coupe ended up i would love to have that thing back in the family

memories came floating back a....

i must say i fell in love with datsuns when i was only 9 when my brother took me for a drive in the family heirloom datto 1200 coupe my dad owned it for years and had an accident in it and instead of fixing it himself he gave it to my brother who fixed it and sprayed it white and put an A14 with a sidedraught weber on it and extractors i loved that thing then he sold it to some guy and now i hear its some where in newcastle and the look on my parents face when i bought my datto ute and bought it home for the first time was priceless :)
