1975 Datsun 1200 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Bloody load of junk (some good advice -never buy one)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car had nothing, but problems from the time I bought it.
First the engine karked it after about 58000kays I think this is one of the quickest engines I have ever gone through.
Then the wiring went hay wire and nothing worked accept the headlights.
I then had to have the suspension re done after that karked it.
General comments?
This car was the worst I have ever owned. it drives like a blind monkey and handles like a dizzy elephant. i sold it after 700 kays as I had had enough of the bloody thing.
I had drivin my dads 79 hilux a year befor I bought this lump of junk and I regret every second of not buying it of my dad for the same price.
