Got another present from the postman earlier this week:

Dit is Datsun: Dutch catalogue (cover)

This is a 28 page catalogue to celebrate the 6th anniversary of Datsun in the Netherlands. It also featured a small part about their almost finished new HQ near Lisse.

Dit is Datsun: Dutch catalogue (fold out)

The mid sections contains a few fold outs from which this one is the most interesting: the 1972 lineup:
- Datsun 100A (Cherry E10)
- Datsun 1200 (Sunny B110)
- Datsun 1600 (Bluebird 510)
- Datsun 1800 (Bluebird 610)
- Datsun 2400 (Cedric C230)
- Nissan 2400GT (Skyline HGLC10)
- Datsun 240Z

Yes, that is not a mistake I made there: Nissan sold the Skyline on its export markets under the Nissan brand. There could have been various reasons to do so from which I personally think it had to do something with the Prince merger...

Dit is Datsun: Dutch catalogue (2000 Hardtop Coupe)

As you could see there was a gap in the lineup: the only car not featured in the lineup was the 2000. In the next fold out this car is highlighted as the new model of the 2000 range with a nice drawing of the 2000 Hardtop Coupe. The 2000 is also known as the Nissan Laurel C130 and is very very popular car as a zokusha. ( ﾟ ヮﾟ)

Of course this catalogue will be scanned and posted here, just like the Nissan 2400GT catalogue I'm currently scanning. (｀-´)>

I came across these great drawings by reallyloud on Flickr:

Scrapped green Datsun Sunny 120Y

Most of his drawings are done during the 90s and made available through his flickr sets. This Celica is done really fantastic:

Rusted Toyota Celica TA22

Also most of his other drawings consist of piles of cars and it is some how a bit of a game to recognize them all!

And this drawing of a Datsun 100a really reminds me of the red Cherry my stepdad used to own in the early 80s:

Deteriorated Datsun Cherry 100a

You can find the whole set here:

It mostly contains Japanese tin, but you can see some British metal (rust?) in there as well.
