    The Datsun 120Y Coupe. My favourite Datsun. I never owned one but always loved the styling. My best friend who lived next door had a mustard yellow 120Y four door sedan. It was automatic, and very slow. This 120Y Coupe is a beautiful restoration.

    Haven't seen a first gen 120Y coupe since I was a child! Always loved the shape of this car. There are still a couple of sedans running around where I live in Barbados, but the coupes and estates have all disappeared. Happy to see this one being saved and kept completely stock. As for the music, "Big In Japan" is on my current playlist, but I haven't heard "Japanese Boy" since it was new back in 1981.

      Thanks David, the car (a one owner car) had actually been sold to a scrap dealer, but luckily for me, my mates dad works for the company picking up the scrap cars and saw the car was too good to scrap. The rest is history as they say. I have since met the original owner who loves the fact that I saved it and kept it totally stock. I'm glad you like the music as most times, finding the music to go with the video is the hardest part of making it. I had to have something fitting for the car.

      Thank you, my car does get out, obviously, but not enough to be honest. :)

      It was a Datsun Sunny 1.5 GL owned by a local Sikh. He used it as a daily for years, sadly not there now :(

    it's ugly AF, but the 4 door variant was my dad's first car, and for that it will forever hold a place in my heart.
