Scenic Old Nissan Picture

So last weekend was my girlfriends birthday so all the family went out for the day to Stowe Gardens and inside was this deserted old Nissan Sunny that made me warm inside to see.

Not seen one of those for years, brilliant little vans those. A B11 with an E13 engine if memory serves me right, really sad I know.

I have only ever seen one other sunny commercial & it is still on the road.
Young lad works in local garage owns it.

They were bullet proof just old tech when they were selling them, that said old tech hasnt done our trucks much harm has it.

That looks quite savable from the pictures, I just couldn't leave any vehicle to rot like that, at least cover it up or sell it

There were some great shapes in the old Datsun / Nissan range I learned to drive in a Datsun 120Y it was fab ! would love to get hold of a good one now

I remember my mate had a 120Y towed into his garage, with a blown engine, it also had a rotten front wing. I payed £50 for the car £40 for a good engine and £16 for a new wing, fitted all the parts and my then girl friend (now wife) bought it off me for cost, we drove around in it for about a year.
It was a great little car

My neighbours bought this 120Y new, think first car I had seen with a factory radio.

sadly photo lost some of its colour

TBH never been a fan of Nissan's apart from the T2, trol, 300ZX, 200SX & skylines

but as we are on the subject of old Nissan/Datsun's this early Skyline was at one of the car meets we go to

the guy imported it from Japan a couple of years ago where it had once been a race car

once in the UK he did a full rebuild inc stripping it down to bare metal before it got resprayed. It sounds stunning & by god does it shift & will leave a lot of modern performance cars standing

Like I said ,great shapes,first car I ever drove 120Y,first auto I ever drove Nissan Laural. first car I had been in with a beige interior.
