I am now the proud owner of the only 1980 Datsun Violet 140J MK III in Australia!
When this came up for sale on a Facebook group i just had to buy it! so i called the owner and arranged to have a look at it the next week.
So this violet was imported from england in 1980 and has barely been driven since. It has an A14 and was originally 4-speed but had been converted to automatic for the original owners wife to learn to drive in (which never happened), so the car has only done 44000 miles which works out to be around 70000kms.
As soon as i saw the car i had to have it, the paint is so mint and is metallic, with only slight rust starting to bubble on one of the doors, which is extremely common for a stanza. This car has been sitting in a garage for years, and the registration has continued to be paid and i bought it registered and with the original plates, which im happy about.
There are some cool differences between this and the aussie stanza, mainly the engine but also the grille, bumpers, dash, interior and trims. It is kind of like a stanza and a sunny had a baby and here it is.
I will try and get some better photos up soon
