1983 Nissan Cherry Europe 1.2 (920) press photo
The lower-spec model, with 5742 reaching UK shores badged as Nissan. Unfortunately I don't have figures for the Alfa versions, which included a 1.3-engined model and a 5dr which Nissan didn't offer.
Esssentially this model married the Alfa's flat-four engine and gearbox to the bodyshell of the Cherry. It included the Italian suspension and double bulkhead arrangement, and at the very least different hubs on the back to allow fitment of the Alfa wheels.
There were sufficient differences for Nissan to give it a different model code, 920 instead of N12.
This location with a distinctive belt of trees on the golfcourse was used for numerous PR photos at the time. More to come!
