Datsun 1200s were locally assembled in Australia in 1971 by Nissan Motor Co. (Australia) Pty. Ltd. (NMCA}. Sedans were locally assembled from "Complete Knock Down" kits (CKD).

Overview

Models locally assembled from "Complete Knock Down" (CKD) kits include these 4-door sedans:

• B110STUL
• B110SUAL

Model Breakdown:

• B110 - Datsun 1200
• S - Standard model
• T - 4-speed transmission or A - Automatic
• U - Export
• L - Locally assembled (?). This is a guess, never having encountered it before

Note that U is used by LHD exports, and by RHD exports. All the USA models end with U, but so do RHD B120 utes.

Differences from Japan-built B110s include:

• Reportedly, light blue tailshafts are the ones manufactured in Australia.
