Gongora ◊ 2021-07-01 23:05	Indeed, on the Nissan model from November 1958, several changes were introduced such as a panoramic rear window, chrome visors for the headlights and an updated design of the air intake (Model 1959), which did not correspond to the model British

Gongora ◊ 2021-07-02 00:17	It is curious that the official Nissan website says that the last model came out in 1959. The Austin was sold for a few months during 1960 until the appearance in April of the Nissan Cedric, its substitute. In fact there was a 60 'model ...
dsl ◊ 2021-07-02 00:45	The Nissan A50 was on borrowed time after Feb 57, as the UK version was replaced by the A55 Mk1 with new rear. So either Longbridge continued to supply body parts as a special order for J, or Nissan was now making the body itself (which could explain for instance the new wider rear window in 59 as a purely Nissan decision and design change, as this never happened for UK A50s). Noted in passing that the Isuzu Minx always got annual updates very quickly after they happened in UK, so a much closer link than Austin to Nissan seems to have been, at least until the final 1961 Isuzu PH400 based on Minx S3a which did not take the UK bigger windscreen and then stayed unchanged until production ended in 64, even though UK series continued to evolve.
