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 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.

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.
