1976 Datsun 120Y B210 Wagon review from Australia and New Zealand
"Ever reliable friend that grows on you"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blows smoke.
Ergonomics suitable only for short people.
No hazard lights.
General comments?
Nothing short of an 88mm anti tank gun can stop this vehicle.
It has provided outstanding service for nearly 30 years, the last 15 in my family's ownership.
The 120Y costs virtually nothing to run.
The cost of acquiring and fitting a reconditioned engine is as much as a standard service on some modern cars.
