"The car was garaged and partially rebuilt, remaining off the road for many years. It has now been rebuilt, reviewed, and serviced, and recently received a new inspection valid until August 31, 2026. It runs and drives well with a perky 1200 engine. Since it’s only been back on the road for a few weeks, it will need some driving and a few small adjustments."

Description

This car is a true survivor, with most of its peers succumbing to rust by the 1980s. It has had seven previous owners and comes with a wealth of historical paperwork. The first owner purchased it from Kerwalls Datsun dealer in Sandby, and it spent most of its early years in Malmö, as evidenced by a stamped service book from 1983 showing 39,960 km. After changing hands several times, the car was stored in a garage, partially rebuilt, and remained unused for many years. The current owner acquired it in 2018, and it has recently been fully rebuilt and reviewed, receiving a new inspection valid until August 31, 2026.

The underbody has some older welds, with a few small rust spots and bodywork blisters present, but nothing significant or difficult to repair. The car came with a large number of spare parts, and many extras were left over after the rebuild. These additional parts will also be included in the auction as a separate post, giving other Datsun enthusiasts a chance to acquire sought-after items.

This car represents a rare opportunity to own a unique car that hasn’t been seen on the road for 30-40 years, offering a fun and distinctive driving experience. Mileage is probably in total 120,000km

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car has been serviced, reviewed, and had the brakes attended to. It now runs and drives well, though the gearbox selection may require some getting used to. A few small adjustments might be needed since it has only been driven lightly since returning to the road. It comes with a new inspection valid until August 31, 2026.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is original and complete, overall in good condition. It would benefit from a clean and shampooing of the seats, which show some signs of sun fading and worn padding. The door cards and headliner are in good shape, though there are some marks, and the car features newer-style carpets. The dashboard is in good condition, but it is missing a gauge, and the glove box lid catch is broken.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is generally in good condition with a few blisters, mainly around the fuel filler cap, the door near the wing mirror, and the upper wing near the roof (see pictures). The car has been repainted at some point, and small paint bubbles and defects are present, particularly on the rear wings, along with some scratches and marks in various places. The underbody shows signs of older repairs and welding, with a few minor rust spots, but remains overall solid.

  • General condition:

    This car is a fun drive, featuring a perky 1200 engine, as shown in the video. You can enjoy it as is for a while and address the cosmetic points over time—there’s nothing urgent that needs attention. I’m pretty sure you’ll be the only Datsun 1200 at the next car show.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
