This Datsun 260C is an Australian-delivered example of the marque’s graceful touring coupe, which is believed to remain remarkably original. Under the bonnet sits a 2.6-litre inline-six, sending around 88kW and 209Nm to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. This example is understood to be a four-owner car and has been in the custodianship of the Datsun enthusiast seller for the past five years. In 2024, the fuel system was overhauled and the carburettor was rebuilt. The odometer shows 93,441 Km. The Datsun 260C is finished in cream with a brown vinyl roof, over a biscuit-coloured patterned velour and brown vinyl-trimmed interior with brown interior plastics, complemented by walnut veneer trim inlays and punctuated by chrome accents. It rides on 14-inch steel wheels with chrome wheel trims, fitted with Maxxis MA-1 whitewall tyres. Equipment includes air conditioning, power steering, remote boot and fuel filler releases, a heated rear screen with defog and timer settings, an analogue clock with date window, a Clarion cassette player and push-button radio with speaker balance control, front and rear electric windows, and front and rear cigarette lighters, This example is fitted with removable sheepskin front seat covers and Datsun-branded rubber floor mats. The Datsun is accompanied by its handbook, Historic and Classic Vehicle Logbook, some supporting service and maintenance receipts, and the boot-mounted jack and tool wrap. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the engine bay has not been detailed and therefore shows some age-related cosmetic patina. Inside, the interior is said to be in very good original condition, but the seller notes that the rear seats are faded on the top of the headrests. The seller states that the car is in good mechanical condition, with no undue use of fluids, and that the cosmetic condition has been preserved due to it always having been garaged and used sparingly. The seller has conducted his own oil and filter services. The fuel system was overhauled and the carburettor was rebuilt in 2024 at 91,000 Km by Carburettor & EFI Service Co. in Blacktown. The Datsun is accompanied by some supporting servicing and maintenance invoices. This Datsun 260C is a charming example of the marque’s lesser-seen touring coupe, which is believed to remain highly original. It combines a characterful straight-six and smooth automatic transmission, a well-appointed cabin, and styling that oozes 1970s charm. This Australian-delivered car will no doubt appeal to marque enthusiasts and should make a dashing companion for car shows, cruises and classic tours.
