Early models were Japanese assembled and imported. Read below.

Quote March 1986
Nissan Bluebird T12 introduced in the UK
New T12 model introduced in the UK. Like the previous U11 model, which had only been on sale for around 18 months, it was a conventionally engineered front-wheel drive saloon, offered in four-door saloon and five-door hatchback forms, and 1.6- and 2.0-litre forms. Much was made by Nissan that these cars had been tuned specifically for UK market tastes, although like the older Bluebird (and the Stanza it directly replaced globally), the Bluebird's styling didn't reflect a Western-looking company's ambitions.


Quote September 1986
The completed plant is opened
Nissan Washington (2) The first Bluebird was produced shortly in August 1986 (above), and the official opening took place the following month - Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Nissan President Yutaka Kume (right) attended the site opening. Margaret Thatcher also painted the second eye on a traditional Japanese ‘daruma’ doll to confirm the successful opening of the plant. This followed the painting of the first eye by Prince Charles and Princess Diana during a visit to Nissan’s Zama Plant in Japan.

Bluebird production was still building at this point, and it initially supplemented UK assembled models with ones imported in from Japan. In the first year of production, 5139 Bluebirds roll off the line, and 430 people are employed there.
