Totally mega rare in the UK! This Datsun Sunny 1400 pickup is actually a 1984 model and is from South Africa same as mine is. Thankfully it's in safe hands. I'm going to be supplying the bloke with the parts to do it up. The engine is knackered so it's getting a 1.8 and 5 speed fitted as well as a few other performance tweeks ;D ;D   |

ooooh! ;D
We've got one of those too! But its not in the UK. Its a '85 1400cc red model but badged Nissan. It was bought off a family friend as a run around in Mauritius. Its got black bumpers, black wing mirrors, but has a 'S' badge in the centre of the black grill. Its' a bit tatty but shifts!
I'll scan the piccy of it later.

I thought the Wellers might get Rev #9's attention ;D ;D They are actually original fitment on this one. The 1400 could be bought with white 8 spokes as an option. I think the current 1400 Champ Nissan sell in SA now comes with them as standard. Check out www.nissan.co.za to see the brand new ones they sell. They've been selling them since about '72! |

I like that a lot, it's got just the right amount of scars to show that it's been used properly but it still looks in really good order for that sort of age. Is there any reason why most old J pickups are in that shade of blue? most early mazda trucks were that sort of colour as well.

I've no idea what was available in SA but here the old Datsun pickups (620 model) only came in four colours, red, blue, yellow and white. Most of the 620's seem to have been red or blue. My 1200 pickup was originally a tan colour before being repainted white. Not sure what colour I'll do it. Maybe green or orange...something bright anyway.

I love that they still build the Nissan pick ups alongside the newer cars in South Africa. There's something refreshing about a company that knows a good thing when they see it, instead of trying to keep up pretensions that they are fashionable and flash so better replace all their sensible rear wheel drive workhorses that get owners hooked for life with regrettable, forgettable front drive boxes. (Volvo anyone?)
(There's also something refreshing about a company that uses Wellers! ;D ;D ;D ;D)
