Red Goes​​​​​​​ Faster

Shane Bugeja’s Datsun 1200 started life on the other wide of the world. Now this Aussie monster runs low 7s and looks better than ever, too!

Isn’t it amazing how rich and varied the lives of cars can be over the span of their lifetimes? Of course the older the car, the deeper the story goes and as you can probably tell just by the look of this 1972 Datsun B110 1200 Sunny, there’s a whole lot to tell about how it came to be. The story doesn’t just cover how it has survived the past 45 years either, as this super clean, retro rocket also happens to be packing a 13B rotary engine that produces over 1000hp! In-turn, with that kind of firepower under the bonnet, it’s able to propel the little Sunny up the quarter mile in just 7.2 seconds at over 190mph!
