^ Yep, i suggest we stick to that.![[Image: skylineback.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/28526/23/skylineback.jpg) ---- /vehicle_1793950-Datsun-Skyline-C110-1973.html As i discussed above, the situation is a bit odd in regards to Kuwait. Two Nissan distributors co-existed in that country during that era: Al-Shawaf & Al-Babtain. · Al-Babtain's Nissan was the usual Datsun-Nissan (Nissan-only post 70s) and sold it's range of models like the 200L/Laurel, Zs, Nissan Patrols and what not. · On the other hand, Al-Shawaf was originally a Prince Motors dealership in the early-mid 60s which sold models from...that brand obviously. However after the Prince's merger, Al-Shawaf became a Nissan importer/dealership instead and sold primarily Nissan Prince Store models like the Gloria, Cherry, Atlas and the Skyline. To my knowledge, they were never marketed as Datsun's. ![[Image: shakabanza_b0i7njrnmf4pndhu64q_wgfzquda_vlx9isafe0.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/28526/23/shakabanza_b0i7njrnmf4pndhu64q_wgfzquda_vlx9isafe0.jpg) ![[Image: ed3ls0lwaaqfgqxformatjpgnamemedium.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/28526/23/ed3ls0lwaaqfgqxformatjpgnamemedium.jpg) ![[Image: 365997818_774148007843171_7213469039578313080_njpgstpdst-jpg_e35_nc_htinstagramfbah9-1fnafbcdnnet_nc.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/28526/23/365997818_774148007843171_7213469039578313080_njpgstpdst-jpg_e35_nc_htinstagramfbah9-1fnafbcdnnet_nc.jpg) ![[Image: dqlpk8xv4aage7d.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/28526/23/dqlpk8xv4aage7d.jpg) ![[Image: eid_alotaibi_20191223_11.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/28526/23/eid_alotaibi_20191223_11.jpg) Now i don't know if the actual cars were actually badged as Nissans or Datsuns but they were definitely called as Nissans from a marketing standpoint. Annoyingly, i can't find any Kuwaiti ads for the C210 but based on the previous & later situation, it shouldn't deviate that much.

I ain't sure. -- Last edit: 2023-08-17 05:53:40 |
