There was a 2 owner Datsun 1200 coupe for sale on Ebay. The auction for this 63,000 mile [about 102,000k] car ended tonight.

Anybody know who bought it?

wish i did, went for a steal... see how good the stock interior was still

I made one bid, just one bid only. I couldn't just leave it without making just one bid. It is a great grannyspec original car with an average mileage accumulation of less than 2,000 miles [3,200k] per annum.

There were no cracks in the dash pad & the interior looked to be in exelent condition. It looks to be as good an example of a 1200 coupe as you will find these days.

I bid just 11 seconds from the end & i bid a lot more than the winning figure. I pick it up next week & it is a gift for my eldest son.

Dodgeman good work , you sly old dog.

Hey Chris you might come to your senses and realise the 1200 is better than the 1000 and make a swap with your son.

Just joking

I saw that too..It is a great car.

Would have made a great brother for my sedan. I have enough expenses at the moment. I'm happy that no slimey dudes with ca18 intentions got it.

Dodgeman is a 1200 lover, he would never have visited here in the first place. He's in denial

Good result.

LOL Once you see what I have over here for Chris to put on the 1K..............

I owned a '73 Datsun 1200 ute & it was a great car [truck], but i also owned a 1000 sedan with 1200 engine & it was even more fun, so i chose to concentrate on them. They're all good mate.

Chris
I deny everything. These assertions are just spurious fabrications by closet admirers of the B10 series designed to draw a red herring asross the trail of their suppressed feelings.
Actually, while i'm a Datsun 1000 "true believer", i can still appreciater that the 1200 is also a good car, along with the 120Y. After all, it's the 1200 ['70 to '73] that supplies those wonderfull 1200 engines that fit 1000's so well. VIVA 1200's [and their engines.]

Who_your_datty_1200
Shhhhhhhhhh

My son is a good kid who is attending University. His first car, a Corolla, fell over one day, [they do that sometimes] & his second car, an RB31 Skyline with over 400,000 K on it is really a bit expensive to keep on his income.
This coupe will provide him with economical motoring in a stylish vehicle that is already becoming an appreciating asset.

I gotta be good to him as he will be the one that choses the nursing home that i end up in.

So now we have a 1000 coupe, a 1200 coupe & a 120Y sedan in the family. My daughter gets her Learners licence soon too. Maybe a B310 Sunny for her just to make up the set.

I have a problem. 3 or 4 projects on the go; 2 120Y's and 2 utes. I sometimes wonder what I will do with them? I won't be able to afford to registar all of them. I might have to have some kids? By the time I've finished them at the rate I'm going they would be olde enough to drive them. . .

You can never have to many backup cars I guess. . .

I bought 5 A15's the other day that were imported 12 years ago and were locked in a shed. Can't let them go now. . . Looks like I need more cars to put them in. 2 projects are A series the other is Z18 and CA18.

What can I say, like Chris, I to have the "Datsun Fever".

Me too!!!!!!!!
One 1200, and three B310s.

The way I see it, although you can pic up a slightly unloved sunny for bugger all nowdays, oneday, sooner than we all think, they too will get hard to find, just like 1200s have. Then life will be very tough, when it's a struggle to get bits at all, which we now all take for granted, we'll all wish we'd saved a few more when we had the chance!

Keep them alive.

Chris, I hope you boy has got his head screwed on right. It would be a shame for this 1200 to "Fall over" as young 'un's cars have the habit of doing from time to time. (A few of mine did)
