Can’t get much tidier than this in New Zealand anymore.
And it’s an ’83 facelift model, even. Reserve is around $4000-$4500.
Solid.
To anyone lamenting the lack of decent older Japanese sports coupes on Trademe recently, perhaps give this a second look?
Time and a location close to the sea has not been kind on this old soul.
You may recall these earlier snaps from December of 2009. I drove past it this weekend (almost two years later) on my way to the Waiau River mouth and had the Olympus in the car so decided to take some updated shots.
As you can see, I didn’t quite get the series of pictures correct as it had been a while and I wasn’t sure what shots I had taken the first time, also the difference in time of year is definitely apparent by the lack of Californian thistles in this set.

The listing description describes it as the “Rearest” Datsun in NZ… I think the seller means “rarest”, but point taken – it’s the only KP510 coupe I’m aware of in the country. Michael may be able to shed more light on the subject since he has connections to more local Datsun weirdos than I can even comprehend, lololol.
Those tail lights... drool.
Yours for a cool $22,000 and comes with all the fruit, such as the Watanabe rims, front chin spoiler, sweet L16 engine with twin Mikuni crabs, and aftermarket suspension.
Authentic RS-8s of dish.
One day I shall own a ’70s Datto coupe, but between the Bluebird, Skyline, Laurel and Fairlady there’s so many different ones to choose from.
Not quite a C10, but the '70s Nissan DNA is definitely there.
Now where did I put my secret stash of asian millionaire gambling moneys?
Can’t help but think: one drive around the block here in NZ and that front spoiler’s gonna break off…
Looks like a lot of time and effort went into reproducing the Silhouette kit, and the price tag reflects that. The rims aren’t exactly right and it may not be running a LZ20B under the bonnet, but there’s more than enough cool bits attached to the FJ20 to make it sound like it could be pretty fun!
Yours for a cool 2.5 million yen.
I don't even think I could get it into my driveway.

Damn, those dished Works fill the guards nicely on this AW. I wonder what the measurements are?
