The Datsun 120Y, Australia’s version of the Nissan Sunny, was assembled (from kits) in Melbourne through the mid-1970s.
Offered in compact sedan, wagon and coupe models, it was powered by a 1.2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine driving the front wheels through either a four speed manual gearbox or three-speed auto transmission.
The line-up currently starts at POA for the 120Y (base) and ranges through to POA for the range-topping 120Y (base).
