1975 Datsun 120Y 1.2L Leaded from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
I've only driven a few cars (high performance ones to) but nothing is as reliable or cost effective
Faults:
Valve stem cells needed replacing. Blew a bit of smoke as a result of slight oil leakage.
Crack in dashboard.
General Comments:
Sticks to the road like nothing else.
Awesome fuel economy (roughly 500km on the 43L tank)
For a 1171 cc 1975 model a top speed of around 150 km/h is great.
Changed all head gaskets, exhaust gaskets, cleaned push-rods, and replaced valve stem cells in under 3 hours.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I acquired my Datsun 120y coupe, first registered November 1974, in 1983, and still love it today. Has original 149.000km on the clock, all original specs except the mag wheels.. Big compromise was the auto, it de-powers it badly.
