1974 Datsun 1200 delux review from South Africa
"Brilliant little car on the whole"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cold start's a headache because of carbi which was then replaced with an a14 one.
Inside heater stopped working.
General comments?
Very, very reliable.
Handles very well with the Tiger mags I have on.
Although the gearbox's a 4 speed, and noisy, very strong and built for rough handling.
