1974 datsun 1600

Post by illusive »

How do i find out what year my datsun 1600 is?

It is registered as a 1974 which a quick google says there isnt such a thing..
Is there a way of looking up the vin code or anything to tell me what actual year it is?

Also means cheap rego would come alot sooner.

Cheers

It'll be registered as the year it was first registered. Not when it was built. It wasn't uncommon for cars to sit around for a while before they were sold.
They don't call me the man with the rubber arm for nothing you know.............

as Bart said.

But if you still want to know, then post up a bunch of pics, including dash, grille, indicators, and boot/rear tail light panel
