1972 Datsun 1200

1972 Datsun 1200 Sedan - For Sale.

I will only sell this car to someone suitable for its ownership – I have already turned a couple people away.

Car has been restro-modded with an eye to making it a sleeper and keeping the lovely internal and external patina of the 52 years it has been in existence.

I have owned the car for 12 years slowing building it taking time to make the right decisions despite of the cost. Reason for sale is I have a Datsun 1200 Coupe as well and I only need one so I am keeping that and selling the Sedan to simplify my life.

The car has been stripped – wheel arches, engine bay and underside stitch-welded and completely professionally sealed with Raptor Coating and colour matched.

The A14 engine has been built ground up with loads of custom parts made and all other parts were new - A14 turbo, 5speed box from a AE86 into a Datsun pickup axle with Quaife LSD. Garrett GTX gen 2 turbo, Asnu 500cc injectors, upgraded Nissan Oil & Water Pump. K&N filters, PWR Intercooler, 2. 5'' Steel Exhaust, upgraded suspension, Wilwood brakes etc etc…. the list goes on.

Link Atom 2 tuned to 190hp with plenty more there (250hp max with gearbox limits) but it's only a 750kg RWD car - quick car and sounds absolutely incredible!

Original interior and 70% original paint.

Pioneer Stereo, speakers and powered subwoofers – tucked away to keep the lovely old look throughout.

Feels incredibly responsive, sharp and tight so easy and enjoyable to drive but respect required especially on boost it has a connection and feel to the road cars no longer seem to have.

A very rare car with only the smallest handful of them in the UK - everywhere it goes it gets attention, compliments, photos/ videos being taken and brings smiles to faces. This Datsun is incredibly unique and something really special so if you want a classic car that is a joy to drive with reliability turning heads everywhere it goes this is the car for you.
