 The 1979 Datsun 120A F-II Cherry Saloon was part of the second generation of the Datsun Cherry series, commonly referred to as the 120A F-II, distinguishing it from the 100A variant which was equipped with a smaller engine.

Whilst a common sight on the road in the 1970’s and 1980’s the Datsun 120A Cherry is now a rare find, holding appeal for classic car enthusiasts who appreciate its historical significance and straightforward engineering as well the draw of nostalgia associated with late 1970s Japanese cars; either way these have now become a rare and collectable classic car.

A small number were produced offering a “Sportmatic” semi-automatic transmission, utilizing a torque converter to eliminate the need for a clutch pedal, and this is one of those very rare examples.

To add to the rarity it’s covered just 32,620 miles and has been in the current ownership since 2014. The mileage is believed to be genuine and the condition of the interior certainly supports this.

Used regularly until recently, its reported to have a flat battery (starts on the key with a jump pack) and some undiagnosed play in the steering.

Whilst the bodywork is clearly ready for some remedial works, this car offers the option to carry out either minimum required works, a full restoration or anything inbetween.

This would happily serve as a super cool daily driver, a rare classic car for high days, holidays, shows and meets or an incredibly low mileage and rare Sportmatic for any serious collection.
