Your 1200 looks Great..
Listen Up Guys, I'm a old "Fossil" and a benefit of age is having the honor of driving these cars when New.
I'm not gonna list all of them, like the elderly-drooling Old Man that I am, however I will say these few words.
NEVER has anyone designed and manufactured a more well-built, durable, powerful, economical and vibration free vehicle.
I have a 1971 BRE 510 with a 1800 engine and magnesium wheels , sure it'll smoke the tires in 3 gears, pull .89g's on a skid-pad, but the Jag style rear end is overkill and heavy for such a car.
I find the live axle in the 1200 and the "total-package" to be more suited for aggressive driving.
Earlier today I was attempting to count the 1200's I've owned, I cannot recall but it's about 5-7, maybe more. One sad example of a 72 1200 still lives with me. Several 510's [still have one "71 BRE] one 280Z and my "Project" 260Z that has been "resting" in my climate controlled basement for over 25 years [I know, forgive me, for I have sinned]
Yellow_Feva, you've made me smile, for there are still people who have a complete and active set of firing neurons :)
