Datsun UK import figures: 100A 2/4dr saloons 62643 100A Estate 8046 120A Coupe 2640 Misc* 2 Grand Total 73331** *Not quite sure about these, possibly a coupe with A10 engine and a saloon with A12. ** This figure may not be all of the E10s that came to the UK, as imports might have begun when they were still Datsun-Nissan Concessionnaires not Datsun UK, and I don't have figures from those early days (sadly).  1975-ish Datsun 100A 2dr (E10) Zandvoort 1995 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr /\ Very young Iwan Vlaar!  1974 Datsun 100A 4dr (E10), Bromley c.1998 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr /\ This belonged (still does?) to Mark Scrogie from Ipswich. Last time I checked it was on SORN.  1974 Datsun 100A 4dr (E10) 1-owner from new by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr  1976 Datsun 100A Estate (E10) by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr /\ Darren came and liberated a few bits from this before it got scrapped/raced.  1974 Datsun 100A Estate (E10), Billing JAE 2000 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr /\ Another one not seen for some years, but apparently still on SORN.  1972 Datsun 100A estate (E10) by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr /\ Very early estate, photo from 2001 eBay listing. Still around I think.  1973-ish Datsun 120A coupe (E10) XS7 rally car by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr  Doyusha 1:24-ish Nissan Cherry X-1R (E10) by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Closest I'll ever get to owning a coupe?!  1974 Datsun 100A 4dr (E10) in 2001 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr And this (so far) is the only E10 I've owned. I think it cost me £10, and did continue its life with Ratdat as a hack before it eventually got broken. I think the E10 is one of the models that typifies 1970s Japanese cars for many, I certainly remember lots from my youth. I recall going with my dad to look at one in 1984/85, we turned up on the estate where they'd said it was and started looking around what we thought was the right one, only to realise we'd got the wrong house and it was around the corner - there were still that many around back then that two identical ones could be found so close together. Quite a few people have said a 100A was the first brand new car they'd bought, often replacing a Mini - the E10 would have been a logical step up. This is certainly the case for my stepdad, it paved the way for several more Datsuns he had over the years. |
