1973 datsun 1200 b110 estate SOLD

Here we have my Datsun 1200 B110 Estate

This great usable practical classic is in as very solid condition and appears to have previously been subject to some restoration but I do not know who carried out the work. I am quite happy to say whilst you cannot see the future I do not see why you couldn't use the car as a daily drive and have the great use of a estate car at the same time. The car is tax exempt, has a mot till July 2018 with no advisories and I believe due to the stupid, recently passed law it will be MOT exempt at some point this year. The log book shows 2 previous keeper but I have put 3 as the person I got the car from was not the original keeper, I also have a old v5 log book detailing the original keeper. The car starts runs and drives great and although I have driven the car very little I feel that mechanically it is in good condition for its grand age. The car is a original RHD UK car registered new in 1973. It will come with a selection of spare parts including a replacement windscreen, it will also come with a Haynes Manual I purchased. I have put the milage as 63, 000 but it is well below that just as I don't want to change the listing constantly as I am using the car

I brought this car as a small project last year, I never really got round to doing to much with it as I had other cars to work on so just left it in the garage, I was just pleased to have a RWD Datsun. I choose to try to find it a home where it would get the attention it needed last year but that didn't work so I have done what I felt needed doing with to make the car a reliable useable practical classic, The car is now back on the market as I have already brought something else to be getting on with and I cannot afford to keep this car. Whilst in my ownership I have replaced the spare tyre and replaced the missing jack and brace with one by the same manufacture. Fitted some Datsun wheel trims of which 2 are slightly different than the other two but thats all I could find and it had none when I got it, brought and fitted a pair of JDM style mirrors and the old ones fouled the bonnet when you opened it. I have removed the front number plate and straightened it up as it was badly bent I didn't want to replace it and loose the original plate so I have fitted a backing plate to support it now. I have drained and flushed the fuel tank and flushed the lines as well as cleaned the fuel pump. Fitted a modern high efficacy water jet for the screen wash. Replaced many pipes to do with the vacuum system, I had the Nikki carb Cleaned and rebuilt. The Nikki carb was the main issue when I got it and after taking it apart many times it was eventually discovered the brass float had a hair line crack and was allowing the carb to over fuel, it has now been replaced with a modified plastic one from another Nikki carburettor. The inner choke cable has also been replaced with a new one as we wanted to keep the original knob on the dash to match the rest of the knobs and buttons. The car now runs unbelievably smooth I had the fore mentioned job done by my close friend whom is a specialist in Japanese cars and bikes his main stay is Honda and his beautiful modified Honda Z600 has appeared in many magazines those of you who have figured out who I am talking about know exactly of his great knowledge. The only remaining thing to do is the front tyres are old and although passed the last MOT I will be replacing them with good part worn tyres for the new keeper next week,

The little 1200 engine seems very happy and has more than enough power for its size, it doesn't smoke, it is very quiet and free from oil leaks and it doesn't over heat. The gear change is very very smooth with no crunching, the exhaust doesn't blow. The brakes pull the car up well and the hand brake works fine and I have recently adjusted the travel on the lever. I cannot stress how smooth the car is to drive and feels far from driving a 1973 car it feel 20 years newer and it keeps up with modern traffic and goes really well. About 55mph you start to think it needs a 5th gear on the motorway but as a daily driver to go to work etc it is just great to drive on the town roads. the car always start first time now regardless of how long leave it

Externally the exterior is bright and fresh, it has been resprayed in the past the finish is very shinny, presentable and even but not a professional job but I would not be embarrassed to show the car it is a slightly different shade to the original. To be negative and start picking faults there a few small localised places starting to show there age now but they are very small and none have broke the paint yet, there is a small bit of rust just starting to show in the base of the drivers side B pillar again this is again very small I have picture of most of the minimal defects in the body and can happily message them over. If I was keeping the car I would look at re-chroming the brightwork next and one of the "Datsun" badges on the drivers side rear needs to be replaced. I have deleted the ariel from the drivers side pillar and plugged the holes with rubber seals. The drivers side sill looks to be a slightly different shape to the drivers side I do not know why this is but I think this sill is a replacement. Obviously it is a 45 year old car so you have to be realistic, there does look like there is a small amount of filler at the very front of the drivers sill I assume this was to make good a finish to a repair that said I looks as if the work to the car was done some time ago and is standing up well to that, the underside of the car is very very good, to the rear of the car is is painted blue on the body, the spare wheel carrier is missing so the spare has to go in the boot. The floor pans are rust proofed not with "undersill" I might add I have not seen any rust under the car. There is a small dent in the rear bumper.


Internally the car has a great original roof lining that is still very white and it has a new carpet fitted throughout. It has very good door cards and seats apart from two seam tears on the drivers seat, the dash is also in very good condition. Amongst the spares there is a spare complete speedo facia mentioned as the only electrical thing not working on the car is the time clock. I do have the shelf that goes under the dash on the passenger side

All in all this is a great practical classic to drive and enjoy, If I was keeping the car I would be happy to push it into daily use and as a "Autojumber" would be great use to me being a estate car but I have a modern classic already filling that slot

There is some spares as pictured to go with the car. I will not sell these separately, I got them with the car so I am selling them with the car.
