-Nissan-Datsun South Africa originally imported B120s into South Africa. In 1976 production started in the Roslyn factory and these were marketed as "120Y" bakkies after the current 120Y (B210) sedans. In 1980 it changed to the B140 "1400" bakkie. In 1987 the South Africa-specific B140 model with raised roof was developed and produced to the end of 2007.+Nissan-Datsun South Africa originally imported the '''B120''' into South Africa. In 1976 production started in the [[Wikipedia:Rosslyn,_Gauteng|Rosslyn]] factory and these were marketed as '''120Y''' bakkies after the current 120Y (B210) sedans. In 1980 it changed to the Datsun '''1400''' bakkie followed by the Nissan '''B140''' in 1982. In 1986 the South Africa-specific B140 model with '''raised roof''' debuted. From 1990, the current facelift ('''square headlight grille''', grey interior) was applied to the B140. The production run ended in late 2007.

Datsun 1200s were sold and even locally produced in South Africa. Though 1975, 4-door sedans and GX Coupes were sold. In 1980, the Datsun 1200 pickup became the Datsun 1400 pickup, and exclusive Nissan-Datsun South Africa offering.

Bakkie

Nissan-Datsun South Africa originally imported the B120 into South Africa. In 1976 production started in the Rosslyn factory and these were marketed as 120Y bakkies after the current 120Y (B210) sedans. In 1980 it changed to the Datsun 1400 bakkie followed by the Nissan B140 in 1982. In 1986 the South Africa-specific B140 model with raised roof debuted. From 1990, the current facelift (square headlight grille, grey interior) was applied to the B140. The production run ended in late 2007.

GX

Datsun 1200 GX Coupes and Sedans were sold in South Africa. A Coupe can be briefly seen in the 1980 movie The Gods Must Be Crazy. The GX sedans were common in South Africa, and a surprising amount of them can still be seen driving around.
