Here's a couple of pictures of possibly the last unmolested Datsun Sunny 1200 left in New Zealand ??
And here's a video of a lightly overhauled but largely original 240Z taken over Easter 2012. The car is NZ new but I sourced the D hubcaps off eBay this year. I prefer them as they resemble the earlier but now unobtainable (well, they are, but I'm not mortgaging my house for a set) of alloy wheels supplied to the very early JDM 2.0 Liter Fairladys. The D hubcaps came on the 1970 and 1971 cars as standard so they are period correct.

Re: Original Datsuns
I think I tried to buy your 1200 off you when it was getting a regular service at Cockram Nissan a couple of years ago?
It is an amazingly tidy example same with the 240

Re: Original Datsuns
Great cars - was good to meet you on the rakaia cruise.
I love that there is still some originals still being used and looked after so well.

Re: Original Datsuns
I don't know who owns the blue 1200.
Re: Original Datsuns
There is another original orange 1200 in Christchurch but in storage. Non deluxe version. Was on Akaroa cruise some years ago.
