Will take a punt and say No not in this country

I have never heard of it. Not in any country.

Thought this would be the case

Yes they did,i owned one many years ago,they also had a disc brake front end standard,don't remember the year model but they also had the stamped(nissan)tailgate and lots of A/P crap on the carbie,mine was green.

So rare as then

was that a south africa one bert ?

mines the last of the 1200 ute ''1985'' came with drums
neva seen a auto factory ute

I'm guessing a previous owner converted it to automatic.

JDM ute catalog does not list an auto, and didn't get disk brakes until 1989. Did RoadStar/SportStar out of new zealand have autos? They had a lot of options.

never seen an auto ute in nz either. didnt think they existed.

Technically,i did not "own" it,it was a company supplied 7 day a week drive car for me.I had to pick it up from a Nissan dealer in Moorabbin-Melbourne and it was new,i don't remember seeing any odd plates under bonnet,but then i was'nt all that interested at the time as it was just another 1200 and Melbourne was teeming with them back then,plus i wanted a manual anyway!Time frame would have been late 85' for memory.
Had a T bar much the same as a 120Y in the usual 1200 black plastic console,plus the disc brakes which i assumed was an automatic thing at the time.
I had the vehicle for about 2 years before moving to another job,and since then had seen only two others both in Melbourne.
One of the 2 i spotted at Fowles Auctions,perhaps i should have grabbed it,might have been worth a dollar or two now,but if i'd have bought everything i liked over the years i'd have needed a shed like Lindsay Fox
