#106 One Day, One Car
Today featuring for the first time from South Africa, probably some of you didn't know the existence of this sports coupe...
The car? The Datsun 160Z
The model Datsun 160Z was manufactured in 1977 in a total of 120 units for the South African market. In 1978, when the stock was ready, Nissan-Datsun South Africa presented and released it on the market with 1.6L 4 cylinders 8 valves and pure 93 HP engine.
The car was manufactured only for two years and in a total of 241 units...
Did you know?
Before Nissan acquired and started to produce cars as Datsun, the name of the brand was Dat (Datson) - originally D.A.T was 3 first letters of the names of 3 original investors who believed Masujiro Hashimoto, the founder of Dat Automobile Manufacturing in 1926.
Enjoy ;)

Cool!
Un carro pequeño pero muy bonito, con un carro asi seria la envidia de muchos.
This car was like Mercedes now...
I hope they didn't use black men to industry this car ... because at the time it was a racist government in South Africa.
I bet they did. But Mandela did a good job since then ;)
Woww pero que hermosura
