Seller's Notes

This Nissan 1200 Utility is a dependable single-cab pickup, fitted with some appealing modifications. The original 1.2-litre ‘A12’ inline-four has been swapped for a rebuilt and upgraded 1.4-litre ‘A14’ unit, driving the rear wheels through a replacement five-speed manual transmission and a heavy-duty clutch. Originally sold at City Motors in Western Australia, it is reportedly still wearing its initial WA number plates. The odometer shows 223,691 km, but this is not warranted. Build year: 1985 This 1200 Utility is finished in red, with chrome trim elements, a wooden load bed and a black loadspace cover. It rides on a set of replacement period-correct 13-inch wheels, wrapped with Tyremax MAX1000 tyres. The cabin features black cloth and vinyl seats, complemented by a brown dashboard, centre console, steering wheel and door cards, and a black fabric dashboard top. Equipment includes push-out front quarter light windows, heating and ventilation controls, and a cassette stereo. Running 10.8:1 compression on 98-octane fuel, the replacement ‘A14’ engine features new pistons, a Stuart Wilkins custom camshaft, ACL bearings, ARP head studs and rod bolts, a lightened flywheel, and twin FAJS 40mm DCOE carburettors on a port-matched inlet manifold. Ceramic coated extractors feed into a new full stainless exhaust. Further enhancements include Pertronix ignition, double-row valve springs with new seals, billet alloy rocker spacers, adjustable cam gear, and a heavily ported H89 head, with engine machining and balancing carried out by Galloway Engineering. The original 1.2-litre engine and four-speed transmission are available and can be purchased separately upon request. Accompanying the vehicle will be the original sales invoice from City Motors Nissan dated 1985, a spare set of wheels, and a collection of invoices for work completed by the current owner. One key will be supplied. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. This Nissan 1200 Utility is a dependable single-cab pickup, fitted with some appealing modifications. Now powered by an upgraded 1.4-litre ‘A14’ engine linked to a replacement five-speed manual gearbox, it could make a very usable light-duty workhorse, an eye-catching and practical daily driver, and a fun addition to any collection.
