Legend

Oh 😱 My dad hv 1974 Datsun 160j sss (p710) bought around early 80s from his brother. in original Orange color direct from Japan. He's painter , idk ,,,but he paint in solid Apple green ( same as yours 😍) Then install Shelby rim ( same as yours) from his previous 1967 datsun 510 sss ( Sold in late 70s which he bought 2nd) Later in 90s change to Beige. And Sold 😫 I missed that car so much 😫😫 (sad ,,so sad ) got Tow by Council in 1995😫 I open a Public fb group.

Satsuma.

I had one the very same, colour and even a ‘P’ reg. Loved that car, all the extras on other cars all came as standard on a Datsun. How things have changed now - for the worse, in a Datsun your only choice was what engine size you required

Cracking looking car. Shame you never opened the bonnet

Used to own this car , bought new in Cyprus in 1973 and brought back to Uk in 1975 one of the best cars I’ve ever had gave it to my brother in law in the 1990s also one of the most reliable cars I’ve ever owned but bit prone to rust , believe it ended up in Ireland getting fully restored looks very good, hope I age as well as my old car !!

This is the most amazing example that I have ever seen ! Well done sir !

i cant stop watching this, it makes me cry, remembering my child hood and my parents. <3

Thats incredible. I had a 73 one which was rust held together with holes and stickers

My first car in 1983 was a Datsun 120y in metallic Burgundy, I loved that motor, it was a little gem.

Крутая тачка

My Primary school teacher has a bright yellow one. To me as an 8 year old it just looked so different to the Head master`s Rover

Mudflaps! WOW!!! Original Datsun mudflaps. Haven’t seen those in decades. What a beautiful example, we had a ‘79 T reg Bluebird 180B estate which I grew up in sitting in the back watching the world go forwards in reverse - you know if you’ve been there, but my best mates dad had a 120Y Sunny 4 dr with the Blake’s 7 hubcaps rather than the pie dishes this one has. Hats off to yer fella for keeping this beauty in such an amazing condition. Long may she stay in this state.

Why no test drive video !!

Very beautiful, better than all the modern cars that I own

Any for sale?

Amazing! Where on earth did you find the panels? (My first car was a 100A FII saloon)

Never seen that grill before. Agree that it looks better. I had a R reg (1976??) 100A FII in red as my first car back in 1984. Fitted cloth seats and rev counter out of a scrap yard. Wiring for the rev counter was already in the dash, so it just plugged in.

Please sell this I will buy it

Beautiful, just breathtaking I would love to own a vintage two dr 120y. If you still have it in a couple years and interested in selling I would definitely want to buy it.

I use to have a Datsun SSS in black my girlfriend at the time use to wet herself when I use to open her and put my foot down up on a motorway she was a beast of a car.

That was my R26 Megane going past at the 5 minute mark. My mate Andy was driving it in the beginners session

sounds great (the exhaust/engine)

I want something like this , soon as I’ve sold my car I’m gonna be looking .

My dad had a 4 door 180U SSS with slightly different dash and door mounted rear view mirror

Great memories! I leaned to drive in 78 F-10 and owned a 78 B-210....identical A14 engines, both 4 speed, but the front drive F-10 was noticeably faster.

Beautiful Datsun which will run forever as a dry miler.This car saw off British Leyland's unreliable offerings,a workmate had one same colour and year and model as this one in 1985 and though the sills and door bottoms had rusted through it still ticked over like a sewing machine,in general though this model was the best Datsun for longevity,still a few being used as runabouts in the early 2000s.

the star car is the silver one in corner

It looks newer than in the 70s

Awesome video!!

These were quite a reliable car and economical too. But they weren't as well built as their competitor the Toyota Corolla.

Beautiful! The first car i ever drove. I was around 12 or 13 years old. I remember asking my uncle who owned it if he would sell it to me one day. If all goes well i’ll be buying it from my uncle this summer! Fingers crossed!

Are you sure it is a 1973 that reg looks like 1974/5

When I was a kid I used to think this was a shark car. Cause of the way the front end looks like a shark face and the gill design at the rear lol

the best thing is it’s not pretending to be an X1-R

that hiace camper (opening shots) has to be the last of it’s kind 🤔

awesome 😎 I watched an old episode of the Sweeney recently and I saw one in the background with all the other old cars…it looked way ahead of its time…I love automotive design & this is up there 👆

Le paradis j'adore 🔥🔥🔥✅

I rebuilt one of these in 1988 it was my pride and joy unfortunately an accident wrote it of was gutted nice to c this one so beutyfull restored wish I still had my one

for your gearbox change : perhaps new rubber blocs every where ? I do not remember it was so difficult to select the box on my 120 A coupé

My first decent car was this model , except manual, in this colour. I would buy this in a heartbeat.

not available in the uk?? i beg to differ as as a kid, my parents had one, sss exactly the same, just dark green with black interior.

damn! awesome stuff! you just took me back to my childhood. my parents had the green sss in a dark green with black interior, but all exactly the same style as that one there! thank you for this video. <3

Satsuma amp

My uncle had one he carried a breeze block in the boot as in slippery conditions the back would try to get in front and it held I'd down

Its better than new...

Beautiful example, looks like its in good hands too. How often do use them to keep them in working order just out of interest?
