This is a bit of an oddity but Al-Shawaf, one of two official importers/distributors for Nissan/Datsuns in Kuwait back then, have always marketed the C110 240K/Skyline as a Nissan Skyline.

Several ads plus a dealership photo of what I'm talking about:

This makes me wonder: What should we identify it as then? Should we use the general export name (Datsun 240K/Datsun Skyline 240K)? Use the Japanese name as used by the distributor/dealership (Nissan Skyline)? Or keep it as it is?

EDIT:
Based on what i have noticed, the actual cars were indeed badged as Skylines. However, they also had "240K GT" badges on those with such engines.

Should we just list them Nissan Skyline and add a "Made For KWT" tag for reference point?
