What are the old little datsuns called?

210 or something like that? Why isn't there a forum on them? Those cars are cool!

Are you talking about the B210?

A Fairlady roadster is a small old Datsun.makes a 210 look like a Caddilac!

The smaller Datsun imported to the US: (names throughout the years) 1200, B210, 210, Sentra. I used to own a 1975 B210. Loved that car, it was tough! :smile:

The B210 has a little more curves to the body and IMO looks better than the earlier 1200's and the later 210's.

It depends on how old you mean. Nissan launched the Datsun 1000 in 1959. That carried the chassis code "210". That was one of the first Datsuns sold in the US. The 210 was replaced by the 310 which in turn was followed by the 312, 410, 411 and the ever popular 510. This line of car forms the "Bluebird" range in Japan.

The next car in the US to be called something similar was the Datsun B210 from 1974. The chassis code for this model was also B210. The model that replaced it in 1978 was called the Datsun 210 in order to maintain some kind of link to the preceding model but the chassis code was actually B310. These cars form part of the range sold as the Datsun "Sunny" in Japan. The first Sunny was the B10 from 1966. After that came the B110 (the Datsun 1200) then the B210 and B310. Pretty logical :iceslolan

I have a pretty good history of Datsun from about 1914 through to around 1982 on my website (http://www.ratdat.com) . Just click on "History" in the menu.

There is a pretty active forum for B210 and 210 models which you can find here (http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/datsun210/)
