History
Allways have loved the Dato Utes since i was a you fella, but never had the chance to purchase one. 10 years ago i purchased a 1974 black Datsun1200 ute that was showing signs of its age. I drove it for a few years totaly stock standard and in the past few years have been building it up to be a car that starts and runs like a new modern car with a fuel ecomomy of 7 litres/100 and handles like a gokart. It is now my daily driver and i have never had such a fun car to drive.
