DVLA data below gives a registration date of 03-01-1984; according to Glass's, the name changed from Datsun to Nissan in Jan 84, with Nissan badging and rectangular headlights - but this has round lights and Datsun grille badge, so dating to 83 and probably one of the very last Datsuns to be registered. However plate info is contradictory, given that onscreen this is definitely LWB Diesel. Check sites give it as Patrol SWB Diesel 3246cc, but DVLA says petrol. Why does DVLA say something different from others? And why do each contradict the onscreen evidence? DVLA details for A659 RLG (as Datsun) are: Date of Liability 01 01 1996 Date of First Registration 03 01 1984 Year of Manufacture 1984 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 3246cc CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type PETROL Export Marker N Vehicle Status Unlicensed Vehicle Colour SILVER Vehicle Type Approval Not Available
