I had a Datsun 1200 back in the day. It was pretty much a copy of the FIAT without the rust smile

It was a fantastic car, handled well, even on the forest roads near my mother's house on the NSW North Coast (thank goodness I never met a logging truck coming the other way).

Before the days of expressways and radar traps on every corner I would leave Sydney at midnight and arrive 400km later at 4:15 in the morning allowing for a coffee break at the mid point. Comfortable cruise speed on the reasonably good unpopulated sections was about 150 kph.
