Not sure that it is BArt, when did 510s have Chrome door pillars, apart from indicator repeater it all looks just a bit wrong to me, great park though, no-one is going to boost it. Probably wouldn't recommend in Christchurch though

Looking at the pillar vent, the guard indicator and the shape of the rear wheel arch makes me think it is. I do have some doubt because something doesnt look quiet right...

I wasn't sure either.
At first I was like yeah, but then I thought the C pillar trim was too tall.

Looks like a Lada to me (maybe a 1500?). Wouldn't be surprised if this is Russia (or somewhere close/similar).

I have seen this picture before browsing one of the other Datsun forums but they were all split on its identity and nobody knew where it was from either.

Pretty sure it's a Lada - wheel arches are flattened off at the top, and it has front 1/4 windows.
