Scans of the Dutch Nissan 2400 GT catalogue

I've finally finished scanning the Nissan 2400 GT brochure I bought earlier! It took me a while because I also wanted to translate its contents first and then publish it here. ;)

The cover:

The first page:
Dutch Nissan 2400 GT catalogue page 1
Dutch Nissan 2400 GT catalogue page 1

The second page:
Dutch Nissan 2400 GT catalogue page 2
Dutch Nissan 2400 GT catalogue page 2

Basically the text says the interior is a very roomy interior (five persons) and a very good readable dash.

The third page:
Dutch Nissan 2400 GT catalogue page 3
Dutch Nissan 2400 GT catalogue page 3

This page gives an overview of all safety features (cage-constructed and two waist seat belts) and shows all important specs. I hope I translated all specs correctly, so don't pin me down on that! If you have a correction for that: please let me know! ;)

The fourth page:

Text is not that important: it sums up all key characteristics a bit. What is a bit weird is that they call the car durable. Keep in mind that, as far as I know, there are no Nissan 2400 GT's left in the Netherlands! There are some 2400 GTs left in Portugal, Finland and Switzerland though... Also durable means something else nowadays: would they have planted 1200 trees to compensate its CO2? Or did they construct it out of only re-usable materials?

And the last page:

Not very interesting. It says the catalogue is from 1970-1972, which are the years the Nissan 2400 GT was sold in the Netherlands.

Hope you appreciated me sharing this with the rest of the world! :P
I only placed smaller versions of the scans online with watermarking (to prevent hotlinking/stealing). If you need the originals for some reason or you want to buy that brochure for some rediculous price, don't hesitate to contact me! ;)


Another genuine Dutch Datsun catalogue

Got another present from the postman earlier this week:
Dit is Datsun: Dutch catalogue (cover)
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)
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)
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. (`-´)>
