Nissan Patrol 160 SWB (pre-facelift), 1980

Alternative Name: Datsun Patrol / Nissan Safari / Ebro Patrol / MQ
2 Variants

Model by Ixo, this version issued as part of the Spanish series "Nuestros Queridos Coches Años 80" and also appearing in the Portuguese version "Os Nossos Queridos Carros Años 80"

The only differences between the two models are the leaflets (rarely sold by online sellers) and license plates: black letters on white background for the Spanish one, and white letters on black background for the Portuguese.

The display base states production year as 1984, which is incorrect, since a 1983-84 facelift changed the headlights from round (as on the model) to square. The reason for the wrong info could be, that production in Spain began in 1983-84 when the facelift happened, and because the collection originates in Spain, it may have been hastily decided, that the year should be 1984. However, the Spanish made Patrols had square headlights, right from the start!
