oh yep ritio then

that would be for the 1200 ute sold in aus but continued up until 94' in japan

i had a look on the site that ddgonzal has as a link in his comment and i just looked in the box under model years produced its near the top of the page and it had Datsun 1200 Ute/Truck (B120) 1971-1986 so i just assumed that was it

I stand corrected & have ammended my post to reflect that fact.
Thanks David

1200 utes were manufactured until the end of 1994. Read all about it, including dates for Australia in "B120".

Quote:Then what you have "found out" is a load of rubbish.
1986 was the last year that Nissan Australia imported them for sale within Australia, but manufacture continued on for quite a while.

To answer the question that you actually asked, manufacture was discontinued in Japan in 1992.[corrected to 1994] This was the Datsun Sunny 1200 Ute, however manufacture of a Datsun 1200 "derived" Ute, the South African built 'Bakkie' was not discontinued untill December 2007 & new vehicles held in stock were expected to supply demand untill the replacement vehicle could be prepared & offered in the marketplace, which is about now.

So you have two dates. The ONLY year that 'they' stopped making Datsun Sunny 1200 Utes was 1992[corrected to 1994] & the 'last time' that they stopped making a vehicle that was Datsun 1200 ute based was 2007.

ok then thanx for ya help fellas i found out they stopped making them in 86

I used to service one of the last 3 that came to WA, two yellow and one White..
wish I'd bought it of the guy that had it since new... ho hum...

And of course they only stopped making them in South Africa this year,

Mine is an '85 model mate.
