1974 Datsun 120Y Coupe review from Australia and New Zealand
"A great car turning classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Carburettor had problems.
Paint is peeling on bonnet.
Seats have started tearing.
General comments?
Car had bad body roll, but after being replaced with Monroe Shocks it is 100% better.
Having an old lady has owned having the car since 1976 the 120y is in the most original and best condition I have seen so far.
