I saw this video 6 years ago when it was first posted and it awakened my love for old JDM vehicles, and the Datsun Sunny will forever be stuck in my mind. Cars like this are the reason we deal with back-breaking seats, hard-to-find parts, old slow motors and every quirk and gremlin that hangs around. I don't think cars will ever have this personality ever again or invoke the same feeling of adoration from their owners. Thanks for taking this truck out for a spin and sharing the experience with us, Alex.

In South Africa, the "sunny" pickup was initially the Datsun 1200 then it got a 1400 engine until the end of production in 2007!! The drag racing guys love them here and they're the perfect workhorse for a small business -also why it was one of the most stolen cars throughout its life up to the present day

My dad used to have this truck when I was kid in the Philippines back in '96 and I remember him babying it. We went back there a few years ago, found the exact car he had back then and restored it to its former glory. We were able to bond over this truck and for that, I'm forever grateful. This baby is such a joy to drive, I just wish I had the money to ship it over to Toronto so we can both see it in our driveway. Strictly summer driving though haha.
