I had a friend turn up this afternoon teasing me with a car he had just found. It was a 1200 4 door with just over 40.000 km on it !!! It had been owned from new by an old lady and man was it
a mint machine. It was a deluxe with the two tone seats etc and it still had the freaky multi coloured carpet which usually gets changed. Under the bonnet was stock standard with all the
stickers etc intact and only one hose had been replaced otherwise all the cloth covered hosea were there. The rear door panels still had the protective plastic covering them. The body was
super straight and rust free. Looking in the boot was a major buzz, the original crossply spare was in there with the jack clipped in and it looked like it had never been used! The toolkit was
still wrapped in plastic and included wooden handled screwdrivers and a printed list of the tool pouch contents for a "B110 Sunny". All the zinc plating on the bolts and catches was like new
and I crawled all over it and drooled stupidly. It still had the "OK Nissan" sticker in the vent window. I've seen some tidy Dattos over the years but this one is absolutely this most original
I've seen. The thing that really took my breath away was the key ring, it was die cast and circular with the DATSUN script on one side on on the other was a map of New Zealand with a 1200
sedan over the top. I want to buy the car just to get the so cool key ring!!!! I have taken plenty of photos and will post them when we get more space. The car is destined to be exported back
to Japan where cars like this are pulling big money. For now the car is being stored in a very safe place. The old dear who owned it hit a cyclist with it and stopped driving all together, so
for now my mate pays her rent to keep it in her garage, and she still polishs it for him!!
