I have known about this Datsun 1000 saloon for quite a while and said when I first heard about it that if it ever came up for sale I would buy it. And it has…. so I have. This B10 (B10-080016) was built in late 1967 and apparently was amongst the first batch of Datsuns to be officially imported by Datsun UK. A check on the VIN number confirms it’s build date and although there is no actual information on the destination of that VIN number, the Japanese export record shows only one B10 having been shipped to the UK in April 1968. This was the only one car shipped during the period from September 1967 through to June 1968 and as it is known that this B10 arrived here prior to June 1968 this would seem to indicate that this was indeed the first Datsun Sunny to arrive here officially. I think I’ll have to do a little more research on this before I can say for sure but all indications point towards it being so.
