1972 DATSUN 1500 PICKUPThis rare and retro-looking Datsun pickup is a true survivor. A south African import, it came to the UK 4 years ago when it received both a UK V5 and a 1972 registration plate. The Datsun pick-up is a long-running model line that went through numerous generations as Nissan looked to keep its affordable working vehicle competitive. This 520 generation was introduced in 1965 – interestingly, the 420 generation was skipped because, in Japanese, the name is considered impolite!This car is actually a later facelifted version, known as 521, and fitted with a larger 1. 5-litre engine instead of the original 1. 3-litre. With the name ‘DATSUN’ stamped into the rear deck tailgate, this reliable and long-running machine helped popularised the Japanese brand the world over.A south African import the car is now UK registered with a V5.It is an unrestored condition but benefits from having been in the warm South African climate for many years so has minimal rust and a very solid body and chassis.It was sourced from the Datsun and Nissan Heritage Museum in , South Africa.The vendor reports that the car runs and drives well but attention is needed to carburettor.This vehicle has been running & driving in the past 12 months. It will require some minor mechanical recommissioning. (Fresh battery, fresh petrol, possibly new plugs and leads etc)Offered from a small private collection, this is a rare opportunity to secure a proper early 1970s Japanese pick up at an affordable estimate.This vehicle is located near Lutterworth, Leicestershire LE17 from where it will need to be collected.Motorscan report and videos available on request. Viewing is by appointment, please contact the office to arrange.
