We’ve never heard of this one from Datsun. How about a road trip to Bahrain to pick this one up??
According to the ad, this is equivalent to an old Cedric, which we have heard of. Left hand drive must be very rare, and the four-door hardtop concept is extremely cool, though it can’t be the most rigid vehicle. L28 + 4-speed in a sedan is always nice, as with Datsun 810s/Maximas.
For extra points, the ad has a few humorous statements:
“Original pints” and “this is best deal for cars collectors”
