Dodgeman I dont get why the 120Y has a model designation of B210 here in Aus but the Sunny (B310) in AUS is a model B210 in the USA...whats going on??????????
DELETE the letter 'B' for the US 1978 to '81 model 210, which is the advertised model designation. You need to look for that 'B' prefix.
The US model B210 [120Y] was followed by the 210 [B310/ Sunny] which still had the factory designation of B310 on the firewall ID plate.
If this is the best model name that US Datsun executives could come up with, then they all needed frontal lobotomies to help free up their minds. What were they thinking?
Because this is such an international club I am trying to train myself to write the factory model designation followed by the local model name in brackets, for example,... B310 [Sunny/ 210/ 120Y] as this car was sold under all three of these model names in various parts of the world. The B210 was also sold as [B210/ Sunny/ 120Y] The B110 was sold as the [Sunny/ Datsun 1200] & the B10 was sold as the [Sunny/ Datsun 1000]
These are just the names that I know of.
Confusing isn't it. The 'Bx10' factory designation, rather than the showroom model name, is the only one that is truly international & uniform.
