1977 Datsun 120Y review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cheap reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A couple of flat tires caused by doubling up as a bash car.
Drivers side seat gave in.
Normal rips, tears and cracks in the dash and seats.
Universal joint blew at 400,000 km's.
General comments?
Great reliable car, has often held up to 10 people!
Not a crazy performance car, but a good farm hauler.
