A retro and distinctive Datsun Sunny 140Y Coupe with just 44,576 miles from new.
EQUIPMENT
Halogen headlamps, wrap-around indicators, full side trim, chrome wheel centre caps, chrome door mirrors, plastic moulded bumpers, tinted glass, wall to wall loop pile carpeting, luxury cloth upholstery, reclining front seats, sculptured rear bucket seats, cigar lighter, quartz clock, three speed wiper and washer, large size console box, twin sunvisors, front headrests, rear seatbelts, rev counter, push-button radio, heated rear window, rear window openers.
EXTERIOR
Finished in sublime Datsun Metallic Brown (code 810), this incredibly rare Datsun boasts a rich deep shine. The paintwork is in exceptional order throughout and all the panels are original with no rust or corrosion whatsoever. Scuffs to the side panels have been repaired so there is a very slight difference in colour shade on close inspection. There are some minor touch repairs to the paintwork on the bonnet and tailgate. These imperfections do not detract from the overall wonderful appearance and this car will stand proud at classic car shows. All factory tinted glass, lights and badges remain in perfect condition, as have the bumpers which have no damage or fading. A beautifully preserved example.
INTERIOR
Luxury cloth upholstery with sculptured rear bucket seats are tastefully trimmed in Caramel colour scheme which is in flawless unmarked condition. The matching loop-pile carpeting follows suit with no discolouration, although the pile has worn through in the drivers footwell. The factory fresh dashboard and door cards with faux carpet trim are outstanding and complete this time warp 1980’s Datsun interior. All switches, gauges and functions operate exactly as the manufacturer intended, including the standard fit push button radio. The colour matched vinyl headlining is tight, unmarked and perfect. The boot area is spotless but the gas struts no longer hold the tailgate. A plush and inviting interior, worthy of the Japanese renown for functional quality.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Powered by the ultra-reliable Type A14 four cylinder overhead valve engine achieving 63bhp at 6000rpm. The engine is remarkably quiet and smooth and delivers willing performance, thoroughly capable in today’s modern driving conditions. The 4-speed, all synchromesh gearbox is light, precise and seamless in operation. Classic motoring made easy with Datsun dependability installed as standard at the factory!
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Original pressed 13in steel wheels are shod in quality Falken 155/80 R13 tyres with excellent tread all round. The wheels are in excellent condition with no damage, although a previous refurbishment is evident. Power assisted disc brakes up front with self-adjusting rear drums provides the car with ample and steady stopping power.
HISTORY FILE
Registered new on 10th October 1980 by Datsun Main Dealer Harry Kitchener Ltd of Bedford to first owner Mr G Purr. The original purchase invoice shows a part exchange from Mr Purr of his Morris 1800HL Princess for the trade in price of £1,800 against the purchase price of £4,177.36 for the Datsun. A further three owners have cherished this rare and intriguing survivor. A comprehensive history file accompanies the vehicle and includes many previous MOT certificates supporting the low mileage, as well as previous maintenance receipts and invoices. The original handbook and 1980 Datsun Sunny sales brochure complete the enthralling history file for this delightful vehicle. Ultimately appealing to a ‘dare to be different’ classic car enthusiast or a seasoned collector, truly special.
MOT May 2014, Tax October 2013, HPI Clear and Approved Used Car Certificate.
