Read the history and latest facts about the Bakkie here: http://wiki.datsun1200.com/index.php/B140 Even in Japan -- made through 1994 -- they didn't come with EFI. Longbeds were sold new in New Zealand. I've been hearing for years that "they are stop making them". This is the first time I've heard about the emissions reason though so maybe this time it is for real. $14k AUD is fair, it would cost about that in USA (11k USD?) -- if they were sold here. Welcome to more emission controls. ZA has had them for some time but not like USA/Europe. Next up in USA: mandatory fuel economy restrictions (to reduce carbon dioxide emissions). Even our "zero emissions" engines (like Ford 2.3 liter) put out carbon dioxide CO2.

I agree it should be cheaper since its an old model revamped, however cheap still for what it is. A wonderful car that no one has yet even today made better for its size and versatility. I hope it survives the stupid internal politics of nissan. Even ultra cheap throttle injection would solve the emission issues. Beautiful engine bay by the way and I like the pumped up roof.

It's too expensive to redo the engine calibration to meet the Euro 08 emissions so their just buying an engine from America already complying with the 08 emissions requirements. Seems a bit over the top to me.....

The goverment f--ked up the economy in the last 10 years. As for nissan, they could have relaxed the prices on vechiles that were first designed in the 60's

Cars in general in SA are one big ripoff, ever seen a poor car dealer (even if they sell CHANA or TATA)??

It is also the cheapest half tonner in SA, and the most reliable. Unlike Ford, Opel, Proton, VW and Fiat, that are more expensive. These pick-ups just run forever without any problems. My one, has got 52000km's on it clocks and the only problem ive had was a tyre problem.

No life (a.k.a. DattoMaster) Joined: 2002/8/6 From: Brisbane, Australia Posts: 3792	Re: My Wife probably 10 years ago I saw 2 long bed 1200 utes in an import car yard here in Brisbane. Can't remember what year they were, but they weren't brand new. They had air con and EFI. can't remember if they were 4 or 5 spd though. Strange that they stayed with carbs and no air in South Africa. Must have no emissions laws over there eh?

The pick-ups that you saw might have come form Zambia, as they are still built there aswell.
