![]() Today's car of the day is Yat Ming's 1973 Nissan Laurel 2000 GSX (Datsun 200L). ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Nissan Laurel ![]() The Laurel is a good looking car, but I am not sure I've ever seen a real one. Wikipedia shows that it was also sold as the Datsun 200L, but was it ever sold in the U.S. as such? Any Nissan experts among us who know the answer? ![]()

The Laurel was never sold in the US, but we got the similar but smaller Violet as a 610 and the first-gen Stanza as the 710. The 200L was for British, Irish, continental European and Australian markets... Nice casting that I'll have to keep my eyes out for. Eagle-eyed diecast fans will notice that the Laurel (but not one derived from this casting) is the basis of the Hot Wheels Mad Manga. |

Econobox that ain't, and for a Yat that looks rather well done. The wheels are cheap, to be expected, but not wholly unattractive on this model. |

Another nice little YatMing casting from the "old days". I think I still have this one tucked away in a box in the basement which means someday it will show up on one of my sale posts. |
