Hi all,
       Heres a list of all the Sunny's i've owned over the years, had numerous other Datsuns/Nissans,
but here are my Sunny's.

No.1
      Was a 1978 Datsun 120Y B210
Payed £1,900   8,000 miles August 1980
Sold    £1,600 16,000 miles  Total  8,000
Kept    for 8 months
Right it all started in Aug 1980, with this 120Y 1171cc O.H.V. engine, they were a bit under
powered, used to rust like anything but were so reliable (many a good 120Y engine went to the
scrap heap because of the body rust).


No.2
      Was a 1980 Datsun Sunny B310
Payed £3,195   1,600 miles   March 1981
Sold    £2,600   8,000 miles   total 6,400
Kept   for 6.5 months
This Sunny also had the 1171cc engine and with it being a fair bit heavier than the 120Y it was
even slower (i had a mate at the time who had a Datsun 1200, it had done 120,000 miles
it smoked like a bastard but still kept going) no emmision tests in them days.


No.3
      1976 Datsun 120Y B210
Payed £995  51,000 miles    June 1983
Sold    £500  60,000 miles    total  9,000
Kept 4 months
Another 120Y here, they were on every street corner in the late 70's and early 80's.


N0.4
      1980 Datsun Sunny B310
Payed £1,795   33,077 miles   March 1984
Sold      £895    52,500 miles   total  19,423
Kept  26 months
This was an earlyer B310 than No.2 with the round headlights.


No.5
      1982 Datsun Sunny B310
Payed £1,995  59,540 miles  August 1988
Sold    £1,000  65,200 miles  total  5,660
Kept for 7 months
Sunny coup'e this one, they had the larger 1488cc engine and 5 gears so were a bit better on
performance.


No.6
      1983 Datsun Sunny B11
Payed  £2,195   30,500 miles   March 1989
Sold     £1,500   33,750 miles   total 3,250
Kept for 4 months
First of the frontwheel drive Sunny's these, with the new E15 O.H.C. engine, good cars, far better
performance and did'nt rust so much. the engine was so clean on this one you could have eaten
your dinner off it.


No.7
     1983 Datsun Sunny B11
Payed  £1,750  44,775 miles   July 1989
Sold     £1,450  47,740 miles   total  2,965
Kept    4 months
Another B11 here and the 1488cc engine again, some had the smaller 1270cc engine that a lot of
the Cherry's had.


No.8
      1980 Datsun Sunny B310
Payed  £575  33,135 miles   April 1990
Sold     £250  56,987 miles   total 23,852
Kept for 42 months
Bought this one because it was 10 years old at the time and had only done 33,000 miles, it again
had the smaller 1171cc engine, kept it for 3.5 years with not any problem what so ever.


No.9
      1978 Datsun 120Y b210
Payed  £75    47,265 miles  March 1992
Sold     £75    71,561 miles  total 24,296
Kept for 72 months
Well what can you say about this one, it was Yellow when i bought it, was a bit of a wreck with
battle damage at the back and rusty front wings, so got two new fiberglass wings for it, repaired
the back the best i could then painted it in Red Hammerite, it got a few looks and the kids in the
street thought i was mad, perhapes i was, then after 3 years i painted it again, this time in Blue
Hammerite, kept it for 6 years and sold it for the same as i payed for it £75. First car that i had not
lost money on.

No.9B
    ... and here it is in Blue, check out the spider webb wheel covers.

No.10

Payed  £150  52,832 miles   April 2000
Sold     £100  53,506 miles   total 674
Kept     3 months
18 years old when i bought it, as you can see only 53,000 miles, it was a 1.5 auto, a mate really
needed a car so i let him have it and he smashed it up two months later.

          This is the LX's engine.


NO.13
        1994 Nissan Sunny 2.0GTI   N14
Payed £1,495   55,890 miles  October 2006

Kept for 34 months
This is the 2.0GTI that now belongs to my son (3digitdriver)
its next to my Almera GTI. The 34 months i had it it was in my garage in which time i took most of
the underneath back to bare metal and treated it with varoius coats of paint, Rust remover, Metal
restorer, anti rust primer, two thick coats of green Hammerite, two coats of underbody seal and a
coat of Wax-oil, so it should last for a while.


No.14
        1995 Nissan Sunny N14
Payed  £700  44,950 miles   May 2005
still have it
This is my 14th and last Sunny that i still have, you should all know the story how i got it, hope to
keep it for many years, as it might be the last one i ever have.

years 1988/1994, straight six lovely and smooth.

Nice thread, Peter. Shame it didn’t get any replies.

You certainly shower your cars with TLC. Where do you find all these low miler minters?

You’re not looking to sell the Almera GTi, by chance? Or maybe you know where I might find a low miler N14 GTi in grey?

Glad you all like my little solection, regarding the low mileage on a lot of them, they were quite new at the time when i bought them, but a few were old, like the last Blue sr that i have now.

Have you got any pics of the Stanza's Pete?

My second ever car was a 1982 'Y' plate powder blue 4 door saloon Stanza. Followed up a couple of years later with a 1983 'A'plate maroon 5 door hatch. Sure I've got a photo somewhere of the blue one.

Must say, I loved those Stanza's. They were under-rated cars, and I'm usually met with blank faces when I mention them LOL
