Lateef ◊ 2011-01-26 16:06	That seems quite right, but there's one thing I don't understand - why was it badged Nissan when some other cars from the same company of the same era were badged as Datsun for the Japanese market?
chris40 ◊ 2011-01-26 16:10	I don't know for sure, but it may be that either Nissan or Austin wished to separate the two ranges in the minds of the customers.
-- ◊ 2011-01-26 16:10	At the time, the more expensive/luxury car models were badged as Nissan and the rest as Datsun.
