1973 (?) Datusn 120Y. The basic trim and wheel caps distinguishes it from the 140Y and the later models. |

Yes, chassis code B210. This one has the unique South Africa trim package. |

Not made in ZA?  The Bakkie-version was made there. Only there, if I'm not wrong. |

"Chris Snyders from South Africa says that Datsun 1200 GX coupes (with twin SUs) were locally produced in large numbers from 1972 to 1975. The Datsun 1200 4 door deluxe (2 barrel Hitachi) and the 4 door GX (SUs) were also produced. (...) Chris says that the Datsun 1200 ute (called a 'bakkie' in South Africa) were produced in South Africa from 1971 onwards. The name was changed to 120Y in 1976, and they had a slight facelift in 1982, with the engine being swapped for an A14". And: http://www.moby302.co.za/datsun/datsun.html |

Don't forget the white front retroreflector (though one is missing just under the headlights) and rear red retroreflectors .gif ";)") |

Definitely a South African-made Datsun 120Y. The model was unique to South Africa, combining the body of the Japanese-market "Sunny Excellent" with the A-series 1171 cm engine. The 140Y GX had full wheel covers and additional exterior trim. It was introduced to the S.A. market in late 1975 and was produced until late 1980, when it was replaced by the Pulsar. It boasted, at one point around 1980, the highest percentage of local content of any car made in South Africa (>80%). |

The registration doesn't appear to follow any South African convention of the era. The registration appears to be Swaziland. -- Last edit: 2010-10-14 10:27:35 |
