Datsun Violet 2 door coupe profile Datsun Violet 2 door coupe profile
This model replaced the 1600 body and was also known as 140J or 160J (depending on engine size) or 710.

These were rallied in Australia but never sold to the public - perhaps they hoped the similar styling to the larger series would fool people?

None of these photos were taken by me; please visit Japanese Automobile History where many of these come from.
