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.101982 Datsun Sunny B310 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. ![]() No.11 1994 Nissan Sunny N14 Payed £1,195 72,712 miles December 2003 Sold £700 85,116 milse total 12,404 Kept 33 months This was my first Nissan Sunny as all the others had been Datsuns, this was a 1.6 SR.

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
