1981 Datsun 200SX 2dr (S110) c.1994/95 at Denver Autos

I was inspired to dig this photo out after seeing a Denver Autos dealer sticker on the Oldsmobile I spotted last weekend. Skid Parish had this US-spec LHD 200SX (aka Silvia in Japan and other markets) for sale there at £800. I’d gone along thinking it might be a Laurel coupe, and I’ve noticed Cartell do have it listed as a 200L so I can see why I might have been mistaken.

The car wasn’t in great condition, with a cracked windscreen, mismatched interior and at least a partial respray. It looks to have come off one of the nearby USAF bases, and I do remember there being one or two other examples of this model back in the ‘90s plus I saw one in a scrapyard down near Woodbridge that would have come from another USAF base over that side of Suffolk. DVLA suggests this one didn’t see the road again after the end of 1994 (see below) so it looks like my lack of enthusiasm for it was shared by others.

This model was never officially sold in the UK, but LHD European markets did get them. Three or four did come here through the UK importers however.

Only other car visible looks to be a Hyundai Pony. I remember there being various American cars on the forecourt of varying condition. Sadly no photos of them.

The garage is still visible on Streetview: maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Troston&hl=en&ll=52.3146...

Probably worth a visit next time I drive that way. I don’t think Denver Autos are based there any more though, I seem to recall a change in location and personnel.
