Yeah, welcome (sorry I forgot that in my last post!)
Mine is a GL, is that the lowest spec?

Welcome Viking. It will be a big change from Volvos.

Your 1200 looks just like mine.

Deluxe means it is not the bottom level 1200, the Standard.

Nice, another 2dr sedan. They are not cheap over here!

Hello there!
Would like to introduce my sedan and myself. I'm from southern germany, 24 years old and my car background is about swedish bricks and BMWs. I also have two mid-eighties 5 series sitting in the garage.
My 1200 is a 1972 sedan "deluxe" (still don't know what this stands for, except the badges on the c pillar ) and I bought it more or less accidetially, since I needed a reliable, low cost and classy daily ride. The Datsun was cheap and old cars enjoy a tax benefit over here. By trying to gather information I found this page (60s US-Falcon wheels don't really fit, since the center bore is too small )
The 1200 not quite a #OOPS#ter but also not too shiny and also completely stock, a circumstance I'd like to change, which is quite a challenge due to german laws and the lack of well sorted datsun junk yards. Although there's a handful 1200s and 120Y running over here, it's also pretty tricky to get parts, Nevertheless, seek and ye shall find
I plan to build something low, quick and well cornering, maybe to compete with the hot fiats and opel kadett B ran by some friends of mine and for having some fun in the narrow, kurvy side roads. A long way to go for now

Cheers
Viking
