Car Spotlight>> Clean Datsun 1200 Pickup

Moving onto our second spotlight from Jamboree, we have this little Datsun 1200 pickup truck to show you. It was parked among a whole line of clean 1200s, of which any were good enough to be featured here on Speedhunters. In the end it was the vibrant red colour which drew me in.

Under the hood, the standard motor is still in place and was spotless in its presentation.

The interior was also concourse clean.

I have to be honest, I've always had a soft spot for little pickup trucks such as this 1200 and seeing this one has made me want one even more.

The car is sitting on a set of 14" Riversides wrapped in Nankang 175/60 rubber giving it a very classic Japanese look.

This Japanese sticker printed on the front wind-shield translates to 'Sunny Trucks'.

The rear tray has a substantial amount of room for those every day jobs too, what a perfect daily this would be.

Here is one last shot of it sitting next to more Datsun pickups.

One of these to go along with my Z and I'll be set. Gotta have something to bring in all those junkyard hauls. Maybe find a way to swap in a little 4 cylinder diesel like a SD25 and a turbo cause you know diesels love turbos.

for the US contingent:- great for the junk-yard finds and crusin' down the strip with your main chick! and for us in the UK:- top notch for those summer time B&Q decking hauls and getting stopped by the 'Old Bill' 'cos your US-sec number plate is a little skew-whiff! love it - Thanks!
