I reckon you're right...

Also, I forgot to mention that my coupe also has both the manuals posted above, and I also found the original delivery receipt from the dealer to the first owner the other day.

The car was bought from a dealer 5 mins down the road from me! (It's still got the sticker in the window - along with the "Get that Datsun difference sticker")

If you look carefully along the bottom edge of the picture, you will see that the fuse box cover is in place. That's one of the things that I checked when I looked at it.
Oh yeah, the oil filler cap is on backwards & the rocker cover has 'Datsun' pressed into it. My '68 model sedan's rocker cover was plain, but with a sticker on it that said 'Datsun 1000' which eventually fell off.
I wonder when they started pressing 'Datsun' into the rocker covers.


This is what the KB10 fuse box cover looks like if you have not seen one before.


























This car was delivered, new, to a happy owner in Balwyn [Melbourne] on Monday, the 29th of Sept 1969, so if this is mirror was on the car from date of delivery, then it's not a 1200 one.[but it sure looks like one]
This car has never had the front guard mirrors fitted either, which supports my view that, when installed, they were fitted by the dealer during pre-delivery.

Is it possible that it is a Datsun1600/ 510 mirror?
If it really is a 1200 mirror, then perhaps it was fitted when the car was being serviced during the early part of its life, at owners request.
I also had a look at Ian's car which was just nearby & it looks to have never had the guard mirrors either, & it is serial numbered only 32 numbers earlier than this one. Both are ex-Melbourne cars I believe.

Had alook at it today, made an offer, so let's wait and see.Very original car, in original condition. All brightwork/lenses perfect. Body, 9.5/10, 3 -4 small rust spots in the lower outer door near side skin. Interior 8/10, driver's seat could do with recover, rest vgc. All glass good, needs outer weatherstrips only. I think for blue slip, it would only need muffler looking at, that is all. A rare find indeed, credit to it's owners!

Good luck if your offer goes through - it's worth it!!!

Thanks for the heads up DMan!

That would be the sticker like this one?

LOL, Mark, if you buy it, I will tell you LOL.
Ahh, what the heck, TnPshow was right, it has the only set of factory original headrests that I have seen & the only way I will get them is to buy the car myself [bummer]
I had thought that these were never offered in Australia & are the only item from the option list that I don't have yet. Looks like I was wrong again.
I actually removed one to confirm the Nissan logo on the underside.


Of course, they always look nice in the brochure.

























With some luck, the price will deter the wankers with oxy torches & delusions of SR20's in pristine examples of cars like this.
It has survived this long in this condition, I only hope that it remains a brilliant example of a lovely little car in the care of someone who cares.
I just wish that I had the spare cash to make it mine.
