Datsun.
What to Check Before Buying.
Datsun ceased UK operations in the 1980s, but classic models like the 240Z and Cherry still appear on the used market. These are now collector vehicles, typically owned by enthusiasts who appreciate their heritage and simple engineering. Age-related corrosion, worn suspension components, and ageing electrical systems are common concerns. Any Datsun you find today will be decades old, so thorough checks are essential.
