- The car I have for you today is the very appealing performance variant of Nissan's Cherry, the X-1R. There's factory over fenders, an 80-metric-horsepower A12 engine with twin SU carburettors, and bags of style with its very uniquely-styled rear hatch.

This looks like a kenmari had a baby with a starlet.
How have I not heard about this car before! Absolute gem!
カッコイイですね青色のチェリー💘私も40年前に乗ってました。テールランプを丸型4個に改造してスカイライン気取りでした😃
Datsun Cherry or as we called it the Datsun 100A was very popular car here in Finland. All the cars had 1,0 litre engine, except the coupe version which had 1,2 litre engine in it. We had them in 2D sedan, 4D sedan, estate and coupe. I have a 1975 2D sedan, which I bought back in 1997. It has the same colour green as the van version in this video. 85000km´s on the clock. =)
Nice! Thank you for the information and your story.
I would never know about cars like this without your channel
Cherry was the first car i have ever ''driven'', must have been something like '94, my dad used the pedals and i steered the thing :) It was dark green coloured with brown interior.
Thanks Dan, that blue was popping. very nice.
その昔、FFの利点を生かして雨の日のレースでは無敵でした。
hello ; my 120A coupé was yellow ( nearly as the RX7 standing by therein the video ) I bought this 73 model from my collegue at work who had destroyed the motor by lack of oil , it was 1981 ; with the replacement with the very good motor of the one of my cousin who had slip on ice in a curve , I had very good times with this car . Unfortunatly my Cherry was stolen and smashed ( front right ) in 1987 ; with parts I had , I drive it again few months but slightly as a crab . I bought then a KN 10 ( 1500 cc ) cherry coupé ( last series ) .
The cherry van E10 was the car I droved daily from the importator where I worked '73 - ' 74 ( first work in my life ) , going to the post-office , or Datsun at Antwerpen where the parts were received from Japan for Europe
I miss so much this yellow KLE 10
Thank you so much for your stories, Eric. It's always nice to here these episodes from people's lives.
Got to say I agree with you Dan that van is awesome! Much love for the X1r though. Keep the vids coming, I can't get enough of them!
What a cherry, as always thanks for the video dan, and stay safe
Great looking car, thanks for sharing!
Hey, thank you :)
X-1R my favourite of all time
Awesome, one of my all time favorite cars. Datson Cherry 100a coupe in the UK
Awesome video thank you
I love these things
The "van" looks like an AMC Gremlin.....
Super cool car! Love the taillights👍
Thanks, John. Yes, those taillights, eh? Such a popular mod in the street car scene. I even see trucks with them.
Nice video Dan - big fan of the X-1R. I believe they're quite expensive now, but would love to bring one to the UK at some stage!
Oddly, I don't see them for sale ever. Probably means they are expensive, and bought and sold in private networks of people.
Very cool!
I'm just building one with the Watanabes.
As soon as i saw that car i did wonder whether it had been resprayed;) Spend as long as you like on your vids Daniel as i always find them interesting.
On a side note i was in japan a few years ago for work and one of the guys i was working for took me to a car show.
One of a number of interesting cars to me was a car that i hadn't seen before and that was a Toyota Crown Super Deluxe Coupe of i am guessing the 1971 era.
A more common Toyota Crown sedan of similar era was parked next to it.
Both cars were very tidy looking.
Hi Robert. Lol. Can't spent too long on them. Got to hit that Saturday night deadline. Ah, the Kujira Crown. The two door version truly is stunning.
its really rare but i like the coupe version more
Fantastic video Daniel! The Nissan Cherry X-1R is one of my favourite cars!
It's funny to see you came to the same conclusion as I did in my research for carmashups: the R only offered bolt on fender flares and the choice of colour to be white only.
俊敏な走りでマニアを魅了した本格FFスポーツ
Love your choice on the green car!!
It really is so cool as is. Also, it would look amazing slightly lower with a set of rims. Patina is epic in any case
Great video on a neat little car. I agree with the van pick. Also, nice action shot of the 117!
Great video Dan, as always. Take care, stay safe.
Haha! Trust you, Joe to pick out the Isuzu. ;-)
Love the blue one , That is a great body style , I hope you and your family are holding up well over there , Thank you for continuing to make these great videos times are very crazy right now ,
Take care Daniel
G'day. Thanks for dropping into the live stream today. Yeah, we're all well. Hope you are too
Another great video. These are cool little cars.
Thank you
Great stuff as always!
G'day Dan'l. I hope you're well. Sweet looking Nissan Cherry coupe. Here in the USA, it was called the Datsun F-10. It's not quite as attractive as the JDM version, but it's not bad looking either.
Yeah, doing well. I've been doing my best to stay away from people. Don't want to get sick. These cars went to the States? Nice. Can't say I recall ever hearing about that.
I agree. Same here. I try to keep as healthy as possible, by avoiding places where more people gather. Yeah. In the mid-70s, we had the Datsun F10. They were always 2 door cars like this. They were sold here in the USA between 1975 and 1977. I was way too young at the time to drive a car. But I remember cars like that.If you google it, I'm sure you'll find some info. But I think it was based on the Nissan Cherry.
这车太cool了
In Finland that van was marketed as station wagon. For me it was the smallest hatchback I've ever driven. There's no way you can fit a adult to the back seat with the front bucket seat adjusted correctly. The car I took for a test drive was also white btw and it had been fitted with a A14 engine. It pulled away pretty nicely even with a slipping clutch.
Yes, tiny things, but I would love that green van. A14? Nice.
@@wasabicars It still surprised me. I had a 1971 Corolla station wagon (KE18 bodystyle) at that time and even that felt big interior-wise when comparing to that Datsun. That one had originally been green as well, although it was of different shade. The A14 was sourced from a Datsun Sunny race car so it was more than enough for that body since it's incredibly light.
Great video Daniel. I notice that this one has pop out rear 1/4 lights. Mine are fixed. Also the chrome rings round my tail lights are plain and not castellated like these ones. Keep safe Daniel.
In Europe it was called Datsun 120A
Yes. Thank you... again :)
my cousin had one that shared to same front end but had a small trunk
Yeah? In Canada?? That is awesome. I wasn't aware they went to the Americas. Wow. Oh, was that where your cousin was?
@@wasabicars Close to where I am now, nice neighborhood, PA installed in car for those"hi there" moments
Get that wasabi van, so cool. Not to mention the x1r, thanks for another great vid. I wonder how many ever made it to the states? Was there even one?
I would LOVE that van. Yeah, I don’t think the Cherry was available in the US. Though, a few could still have made it over there.
Yes nothing different mechanically between X-1 and X-1r. Just trim. X-1r overfenders as you know. The fender mirrors were different, seats different material, steering wheel was same design, but X-1r should be leather, or leather look lol. X-1 in wood. These might have been an option as seen X-1r with wood as mine, but I think it was just owners changing them to wood for more luxurious look. X-1 was more based on luxury and X-1r more basic and weight saving. X-1r had radio blanking plate, bottoms of doors didn't have a trim plate. The X-1r seats had the eyelets. Breathing holes?
Well, there you go. Epic amounts of info. Thank you, Dale. Hope you and the fam are doing well. Strange times, eh.
Ah yes I remember seeing those grated seats in the brochure. Looks awfully uncomfortable to me... 😂
@@wasabicars Yes not too bad, yes shows just how easy modern society can fall. Thank for vid, and you and your family take care too.
stay save mr.dan.....c.19 still around
Hope you and your fam is doing well!
Thank you. Yes, all are well. No drama or panic in this part of the world.
@@wasabicars I'm in NYC 😷 and watching alot of wasabi lately 👍
cool cars I am not on intagram but I am on Flickr
thats not the one from msc its diffrent but cool
True. And so you're inspired me to change the title of the video to, "My Other Summer Car" :)
cool :). didnt know the R stands for factory overfenders actually. its true that majority of them is white, but seems like there was more color options for the non R version, based on a brochure atleast haha
I've since found out that it wasn't only overfenders that made the R version, but they were indeed the most significant thing. And, yes. non R ser very colourful. They look amazing.
what else there was to the R? i suspect stuff such as "sports" steering wheel and such huh, haha
Actually, less. No radio, no interior trim along the bottom of the door. Also, leather (or leather like material) covered steering wheel
@@wasabicars i see, so basically to make it weight less, thanks for the info :D
very cute car, sad because it an fwd. but still one heck of a car.
It doesn't bother me in this case. I think because it comes from before the era of plastic bumpers. Strange thinking, but I like it.
Wheres the best place to source oldschool jdm parts besides Upgarage and the place you mentioned in the video if I were to ever visit japan Daniel?
Parts for every older car are truly, truly scarce. The place I thing would be best to check is Yahoo auction.
Looks like a rear engine car but no anyway interesting look, I like more the 120y it’s smaller the rear it’s also more arranged at least for me but it’s nice to see this gem oh the van is much more interesting vehicle
Love ur vids bro.
My uk nissan cherry e15et is called a pulsar in japan and australia.
You ever spotted one in japan?
Can u get into the nissan DNA garage?.
Does Japan have a classic car registration scheme for occasional club use like Australia Daniel? It was my understanding that cars over ten years old were just about impossible to rego because of the cost, or is that just a rumor?
Roger, they don't. If you think about it, it's the car manufactures that built the country. The less old cars on the road, the better... as far as some people are concerned. Not impossible to register, just more expensive. The REAL issue is that the general public want new and shiny. Also, and significantly, they want reliable. So... out with the old...
...plus, only 5 known about in the U.K.
datsun 100y coupé
in europe
100y?? @0:28 I mention this was known as a 100a. Oops
@@wasabicars no my mistake i never seen a coup but the regular hatchback pops up once in a wile in used cars sale page
@@wasabicars my mistake you were correct its a 100a
@@wasabicars well i'm not exactly worng i always new the 100 has the 100y i had to check on google and the pics of a datsun 100y is the same has if you search for datsun 100a so, a bit confusing really
Oh, thank you for checking that. I was worried. It's so difficult though. All around the world, the same cars are known by different names. Confusing
The things I'd do for that green van.......
For sure. I would loved to have been able to buy it. They've since restored it, and it's perfect, and I'm a little disappointed. Lol
