Hi guys,
For someone as "attached" to cars as I am, this is a very difficult decision. Pondered, maybe not right...
We have for sale our Datsun 1600 SSS, RHD, from South Africa, which has been in the family for about 10 years. A participant in several DatsunPT meetings, it was my father's daily driver during this period (along with the 1200).
It has never been completely restored. Why? Because it didn't need it, having only had the rear left side fixed and a general paint job. The interior is reasonable. Being RHD, it has a Japanese dashboard with extra gauges. Very nice and everything is functional.
It has the original engine, matching numbers, which was repaired in the past, but needs some attention because of some blue smoke. Maybe a valve seal job. It has the particularity of having the rare and famous "219" engine head, with larger intake windows, which are the most sought after by enthusiasts and preparers. Hitachi (SU type carburators are full restore).
Mechanically, I believe that it's ready for any trip and will be delivered serviced. It has special vintage rims, which came with the car.
It’ll be sold with a Historic Car Certificate.
The reason for the sale is simple: our father no longer drives it and both my brother and I already have one each, as well as other Datsuns. Watching it deteriorate will be much more painful than selling it to someone who will use it and appreciate it. More details are available by PM. As long as the ad is available, so is the car. I don't reply to pre-defined messages. Thank you.
