I think its a popular mod over in Japan to convert the coupe to the sedan front end .... I agree that the sedan front end is the better looking of the two, not that the coupe is bad, just not as good looking. In terms of the cars in general i know alot of folk prefer the coupe but the sedan is the better looking imo ... i just love the way the back end is shaped and the long narrow tail lights look fantastic. I have noticed the same thing. It´s most common to see KC130 with sedans mask (what's wrong with the original KC130 mask? Maybe it looks more mean with sedans mask?). Anyway as terrible as the Coupe looks with lamps integrated in bumpers the more fascination you get...Butaketzu..

what would its value be know who knows? condition would vary the price. on the road? £1500-3500? maybe more? doubtful there will ever be one for sale in the UK though. as far as i know there is one very tidy white one. not sure if there's another?

Excellent photo!
The turquoise one in the first photo is also in storage somewhere, but I'm not sure what the plans are for it.
The figures I have from Datsun UK show that 303 came here.

3500, no try 8500, which is what the white one recently sold for Does anyone know if the C130 (sedan) came with wheel arch chromes, or only sill ones? Also ,did the automatic ones have automatic badges on the back, I know cedrics got Nissan Full Automatic badges .
