What I have seen to-day: (no photos today sorry)

3. Orange T-Reg Datsun 120Y.

I have not seen a Datsun 120Y for years.

that would be me




it's quite modified though with a mazda MX5 1.8 vvt engine, 280ZX front struts with vented discs and a Ford axle with an LSD. i don't use it that much on the road.

I always thought the coupe style ones were 120A Don't remember many like that on T plates, as the new model came out in 1977 (My grandfather had one of the new 120A like this one).

[Bazzer]

there's something like 20 datsun 120y Coupes left on UK roads. thought to be around 80 of all the 120y varients left. not bad concidering they apparently sold over a million

there were some oddball datsun varients out there.

the 120a Coupe

Martin, the "A" in the Cherry model number was for avant, the Sunny was RWD.

I had a yellow 120Y 4 door saloon that was rotten at only seven years of age, had brake callipers that were past their best and an engine that was practically dead by 67k but still pulled the thing along at an indicated ton, albeit with a blue cloud behind.
I would ask "GMS *S where are you now?" but drove it to the scrapyard myself in 1985 so I know the answer to that one. I remember tipping up at an A40 Farina Club AGM in the car once and it being the rustiest car there by a very substantial margin! I had no objection when a committee guy asked me to park it out of sight.

Tescos Addlestone today - a MKII Triumph 2000 / 2500 estate in organge and a beautiful later 50's / early 60's (I think) Bentley at the petrol station, unsure of which model but it looked a little like an Alvis to me if anyone wants to hazzard an educated guess!!

East and west Horsely village jubilee bash June 5, 3 classics from each decade of riegn.

Interestingly AC represented with both an Aceca and a Greyhound. Everyone took the Greyhound to be a DB4 at first sight!!! and the Aceca looked tiny by comparison.
At the other end of the spectrum the 70's had to offer me in a Stag next to a Daytona yellow Capri mk1 and a genuine one owner from new Cortina mk2. It was in the sort of condition you would have gotten one in the late 70's - when we all had one.( Didnt we?)

[loveoldclassics]

I saw these two earlier to-day.







I also saw a E-reg Audi Quattaro.
