Which one is the coolest or best, keen on opinions???

510.

Im pretty biased to 1200's but by looking at substantial evidence over the years the 510 is far more superior.

Superior for....

Handling
Original Suspension Designs
Looks
Models - ie GL and SSS
Aftermarket parts - US boys and girls love to make stuff
Ease of making even better - ie R200 CV conversions / SR Swaps / Suspension Conversions - Datsport / MADDAT.

Just a few but id keep your 1600 and sell the 1200 (if thats what your thinking

1600. Especially if you're a more generously proportioned individual + all those things Brocky said.

Wicked but value ? What would be more valuable in the future.

1600 probably unless you have a 1200SSS, although prices of all old school Jap cars have been steadily rising for a few years now.

I hate to say it, but the 510 is probably more desirable.
Although on a racetrack, the 1200 is lighter.

Fair comments, I find the sixteen hundy fairly box like but somehow it works.
At present I have one of each but, one has to sell.....if I sell the 1200
It will fund the 1600 but if I sell the sixteen it will be hard to replace I am guessing.?

You know you could make your 510 a lot lighter by taking all those boxes off it Bart

yeah pot and kettle, I know...
