I am thinking of buying a BMW Datsun 120A F-II as a gift to my mother :)

The problem with the car is the breaks on the rear.

I just wonder if anyone would know if its easy to find spareparts to this oldie?

Hah!

You might be right :D

The guy selling the car claimed it to be BMW, thats why I thought it was... I tried to find the same car and I found nissan cars with the same name, but the hp and the design didn't match :O

Sounds very nice!

I wonder if I dare buying it, unfourtantly I have no good place to store it... Which means I need to get it up & running very quickly if I buy it :O
