57-TR-79 DATSUN Laurel C231 200L 2-Door Hardtop Coupe 1977 Spot-of-the-Day
Ultra rare Datsun Laurel 2-door version. It looks like a Coupe, and from some angle it looks like a pick-up with a closed lid. I've never seen this version before. Not even on photos.
In some markets this Datsun is known as Nissan Laurel 2.0 DeLuxe.
The original colour used to be red.
These square double headlights came in Autumn 1977 to replace the round ones.
