Have a #SunnySunday folks! Which Sunny Coupé would you choose? #NissanSunny #DatsunSunny

The pretty Isuzu 117 Coupé, styled Giorgetto Giugiaro, was first revealed as long ago as 1966. For the first five years of production it was largely handbuilt. 📸 This 1.6 DOHC 117 PA90 was built in 1969. 🤍 #IsuzuSaturday #Isuzu117

Those taillights … #ToyotaTuesday #TaillightTuesday #ToyotaCarina #Toyota #Carina #TA12 #トヨタ #カリーナ #ハードトップ

A coupé bodystyle was invariably part of many mainstream Japanese model ranges, and the Bluebird range for the UK included the 180B SSS hardtop, which had distinctive 'opera windows' in the rear pillars.

The 810 series Bluebird bridged the gap between the typically ornate Datsun styling of the mid-1970s and the more subdued, European-style look popular by the beginning of the '80s. Some markets felt the saloon looked dated, but it was well-received in the UK. #weirdcarbs 🧵

For this week’s #MazdaMonday, here are two variations of one of our all-time favourites. 💛 ❤️ #Mazda #RX3 #MazdaRX3 #Savanna #MazdaSavanna #MazdaRotary

The Isuzu Bellett GTR was a racing version of GT, launched in 1969. The GTR was powered by a 1.6 DOHC engine from the Isuzu 117 coupe. Only 1,400 units were built. #Isuzu #IsuzuBellett #GTR #BellettGTR

I haven't posted in a while, mainly due to being busy and partially because I couldn't be bothered, as I had no decent automotive nonsense to post about. But I have finally had time for car fixing, so first up was sorting the brakes and fuel pump on my old Bluebird. Good to have it back on the road.

For this week’s #ThrowbackThursday, we’ve got a Nissan Sunny / Datsun Coupé appreciation post, with this fabulous action shot from the 1973 Japan GP meeting. #Datsun #DatsunSunny #B110 #KB110 #ダットサン #サニー #ダットサンサニー #日産サニー #JDM (📷 Sanei Shobo).
