Kenya, out of all the places worldwide where you find Datsun 1200s, is a place where utility is prized. There the Datsun 1200 truck is called a 1/2 ton pickup.

Overview
Datsun/Nissan 1200 -- an icon of Kenya roads -- was replaced by the Nissan NP200ᵂ in 2009. In the used truck market (in 2015) you can find Datsun 1200 pickups, Nissan 1200s, but also some #B140 (Nissan 1400) imported from South Africa.
Prizing utility, Kenyans outfit their Datsun trucks with rollbars, canopies, light cages, cargo racks, and tarps. Additionally, the government mandates reflectors.

Distributor
DT Dobieᴳ was the Nissan distributor in Kenya since 1964.DT Dobie: The Nissan ˝ Ton pick-up is a living legend in Kenya. It is the most affordable half ton pick-up on the market and it works just as hard as you do. Now with competitive finance packages available, the B140 half ton just gets better and better, long after you’ve stopped paying for it.

B140
Nissan 1400s can be found on the used market in Kenya, often advertised specifically as a B140. These might be imported from South Africa. If it has a high roof, it is a later 1400 (early 1400s before 1985 had a low roof).
