710 - January 1973

The all new Datsun Violet was launched in January 1973 to fit the gap in the Nissan model lineup between the Sunny and Bluebird. The first Violets came as two and four door sedans as well as a two door hardtop. Right from the start there was an SSS available as either a four door sedan or hardtop coupe with the two door sedan available as a 1400 GL or deluxe. Not all hardtops were SSS either ...in fact the most lowly model was a very spartan 1400 GL followed by the 1400 DX and the 1600GL. Only the top of the range were SSS or SSS-E (the SSS-E was fuel injected). All SSS models, be they sedan or hardtop featured independant rear suspension in place of the ordinary models' leaf sprung axles. Early 710 sedans had fastback styling similar to the hardtop but this all changed in February 1976 when the restyled 710 sedans were unvieled. The cars now had a more conventional trunk design similar to the 610. This allowed not only better rearward visibility but a larger trunk too. At the same time as this restyle, the two door sedan was dropped and the hardtop recieved a very minor facelift. In Europe and most other territories apart from the USA the 710 was known as either a 140J or 160J. In the US it was just called 710. In Japan and the US a 710 station wagon (called a van in Japan) was also available. American spec 710's are very different from any others as they have huge safety bumpers and totally different front end styling. Most US spec 710's are powered by L20B's (very early cars have L18's) and all cars have live rear axles.
