These are a selection of Datsuns I've come across over the last few years whenever I've had my camera handy. In most cases these cars have been on the streets or in some cases in the scrapyards. To the sharper eyed viewers you may notice some cars are from the recent Japanese car shows. If you are the owner or know who the owner is, I'd be more than happy to add their name (and personal email if desired) to the caption. If you'd like your Datsun in this hall of shame and fame do contact me, I'll be happy to oblige to any additions.

Datsun 100A Datsun 100A Estate Datsun Cherry FII coupe Datsun 100A
 

An early E10 100A, complete with original upright tail lights. This was Datsun first and very succesful venture into front wheel drive.

 

Iwan Vlaars Dutch E10 100A Estate. This car was also sold as a commercial without the rear windows...can't be many remaining.

 

A FII cherry coupé, this rare little hump backed car was mechanically similar to the E10. Some markets got the 1397cc version.

 

A common sight in the seventies. This '74 2 door E10 lived in Farnham, Surrey around early 1995. This particular car was well and truely rotten.

 
Datsun 1200 Datsun 1200 coupe Datsun 1200 Datsun 120Y
 

A B110 1200 caught on film off the Essex Road, Hackney during the winter 0f 1995. Finished in that Ochre that seems to a common colour of the smaller Datsuns at the time.

 

A very pretty and tidy B110 1200 coupé. One of these in 1971 would set you back just over £1000. It was marketed but never badged as the Sunny.

 

A Mauritian B110 1200 taken 2 years ago, there are still a healthy amount of Datsuns in many African, Asian and Oceanic nations. This particular model is making its living as a taxi.

 

William Lightburns' B210 2 door 120Y. Ask him what engine he's managed to squeeze in there! This car sold exceptionally well throughout the seventies.

 
Datsun 120Y Datsun 160J SSS Datsun 180B Estate Datsun 180B Estate
 

Another B210 120Y also belonging to Mr Lightburn. Hard to believe that well over 2,300,000 of these beasties sold world wide.

 

A very hairy chested 710 160J violet coupé! At the time a far suprior Morris Marina competitor.

 

A rare 1974 610 180B bluebird Estate, photographed in early 1996, North London. The SSS coupé version is fast becoming a desirable car.

 

A stunning mint 810 180B estate, mechanically similar to 610 launched in 1977.

 
Datsun Skyline 240K Datsun Laurel 200L Datsun 240C Click here to see the next gallery....
 

A C110 Skyline 240K. Sold here as a two door coupe and here in this form a four door. A real beauty too, love those funky rear lights...

 

A well kept 240C, belonging to Jon Rodwell. This model shared the famous 2393cc engine from the 240Z.

 

A truely awesome and very well known 260C. This babe has been extensively customised, including hydraulic jumpy bumpy suspension and a stunning paint finish.
