Or even the Dec 58 revamp - 7 extra bhp, bigger rear window?? Whatever the answer, I think we've got some tidying up to across our collection.
Gongora ◊ 2025-04-29 00:38	Certainly. However, in checking Nissan Austin catalogues, at no point does the B130 or 131 nomenclature appear.
dsl ◊ 2025-04-29 01:28	Now I'm wondering if trim details changed during production, and maybe there were 3 trim (evolving??) levels to juggle 1] 1956 brochure, 2 versions - better one has side trim but no flash 2] newer brochure, no date found suggests 3 versions - best one has side flash, 2-tone, and shiny dustbin lid hubcaps

The standard version is retained. The catalogue shows 3 models because there are the standard, the deluxe one-colour and the deluxe two-colour: At the end of 1958 the definitive version appeared, which would be kept until March 1960. Also in 2 versions Standard and deluxe: Finally, in April 1959, the Van version appeared:
dsl ◊ 2025-04-30 02:23	Thanks - that's a great help. This is also an excellent source we already had but I'd missed s13a wrote https://ameblo.jp/porsche356a911s/entry-11448865030.html Two details which seem to emerge from juggling between them: 1] the estate "Van" seems to have had both Standard and deLuxe versions 2] there's a change in hubcaps from early dogbowl (similar to UK pattern) on both Standard and deLuxe to fully chromed dome from summer 57. This might be particularly useful for dating Standards, as these don't seem to evolve Still the B130/B131 question to resolve to wrap things up neatly ....
Gongora ◊ 2025-05-01 00:40	The most notable change in both Standard and deLuxe was in November 1958. I still cannot find the b130 nomenclature in any Japanese catalogue.
dsl ◊ 2025-05-01 02:05	If you look at the first text block in s13a's link, it might say B130 where I've put the first arrow and B131 above the second arrow but as I can't read Japanese I've no idea what any of it means.

Nothing about B130 and B131s being mentioned here. -- Last edit: 2025-05-01 03:29:32
