Nice ride.

Hi Guys, You guys dont know your datto history all that well do you folks. What do you need to know as l have one of these wagons & a ute as well. It isn't a van, it's a two door wagon(the backseat folds down) or model name u320. The Van model(V320) has no windows in the side & no folding backseat? If you do see one with windows in it it's wagon stripped of it's insides. Parts are avaiable including lens & etc.. Question, why has the datsun plate on the firewall is marked 1965 in the photo??? If it's a 65 model, it would have been the last of the range because they was replaced by the 340 models in 1965? If you see a double cab 2 door version (Datsun was the first to bring double cabs to oz)you have seen a rare model as there was only 20 a year sold in oz & 20 still going oz wide( most in n.s.w.)? The wagon was sold about 200 a month oz wide, same for the ute, but less sold for the sedan model? They all was call bluebird 310, 315 & 320 series. l personly have all parts list books all these bluebird models & the original sales leaflet is available online. Contact Me on email address on my profile here on this site. Happy Dattoing

I love these things, lots of style and elegance
Id own one in a jiffy if available

You don't know your Datsun history too well do you? Van is the japanese term for wagon. For Datsun, the "U" prefix indicates a van/wagon based on a truck, like the U520 and my favorite the UN620, which uses a bunch of parts from the Datsun 1200 wagon (VB110).

So this is a V320 (wagon), not a "U320"

In logical terms a Van has no windows, Wagons have no windows.
Ive lived in Japan almost 4 years and my wife is from Okinawa
and even she agrees Japanese are really retarded in naming
things even in Japanese let alone Engrish.

I wonder what has happened to this beast at the start of the
thread? the owner hasnt come on for a while.

Brunop pls upload some pics of your treasures.

OK, so it's not a general japanese usage. Suffice to say Datsun defined "van" as a wagon -- with windows or without.

The B310 Sunny is the first one that I know of with a difference: the VB310 is the squareback, and the WB310 is a slope-back. Again, nothing to do with the windows it has or has not.

Dayum, this thing is pimping.

I saw one of those at a car show some years back. Really gorgeous piece of history.

yep here it is, Pendles if you have any spare taillight parts i would be interested in them, would like to catch up also if you are keen.
