Reportedly, at the special request of the owner of Entreposto, a single orange S1 4-door was created. This may have been the prototype of the 1972 #Rally Version 1200.

Rally Version

Rally was similar to S1. Rally was 1972 only, and came in orange. It commemorated the national championship Datsun rally victory. Like the S1 it had the wide wheels, but they were color-matched to the body color. It used the S1 engine. Cibie Oscar fog lamps were fitted.
