Or I can email you the full size scans

1000

No probs!
That's exactly why I scanned it.

I have owned 4 coupes and this is the first time I've seen one too...

TC

Thanks heaps TnPshow, i didnt get an owner's manual with my 1000 so its good to have that one

i reckon having a 1000 coupe dedicated would be awsome aswell

cheers

That'd be great - I'll happily put up any stuff that's too big to put here on 1200.com.

Thanks, I do think that the world needs a KB10 dedicated site, and i am sur dodgeman and myself would be happy to supply material for it.

The KB10 its no ordinary car.

Ah yes, I forgot to mention it was a JDM Sunny. I noticed that straight away form the sunny badges and position of them on the guards.

I think Datsun1000Collector just bought a pair of these badges off of ebay recently...

Also in that Modern Motor Magazine:




This issue was just before the first Australian delivered rotary, the R100.

I wish what they said about bringing the R130 here ended up happening - they were nice cars!

And with a 1.5L rotor??? A typo I think - Japan only ever saw them with a 1.3L 13A motor (hence "R130") as far as I know...

Your manual seems to be the same as mine except for the covers.
Mine is marked 'Issue Date 15th November 1969'
Thats only six weeks before the end of production, so you would think it was hardly worthwhile coming up with a new edition.

If you want, i will scan mine later & send it to you, just for comparison.

Woah, have a look at the car in the road test. It's not a Datsun 1000 coupe, it's a JDM Sunny coupe. This was the test & evaluation car. Look at the mirrors, the amber park lights under the bumper, & the Sunny coupe badging on the front guard. WHERE IS THAT CAR NOW? Surely they didn't send it back.

Also, have a look at the right blinker spear on the guard, It's on backwards.
I also suspect that the Aussie model came with black interiors only.
The article raises a few questions that i will discuss later, but it revolves around the inference that the 1000 Coupe was not yet on sale as late as April 1969, yet production ended in December '69.
The '70 model was released in July '69, yet there are many 1969 models here. Were they all sold between May & June of '69? I don't think so.
Veeeeery interesting.

Thanks for the info.

Righto - it's been temporarily relocated to my personal account. The link in the first post should be rectified.

Can't have you guys missing out on the good stuff!

Enjoy!
