I recently got the rare, elusive (and expensive) 42-1 Datsun 1300 Truck. The Hong Kong made first version of this differs from the later Japan and China made versions as it has a separate grille and a rear window. ![]() ![]() And in comparison with the later casting. ![]() ![]() And the Limited version with a printed rear window and grille. ![]()

Neat to see the Hong Kong version and the comparison with the Japanese version. At one time I had one of the Japanese versions in my collection. I really like that blue limited version - it really looks sharp in that light blue color! |

Congrats on your rare find Ron, I would even like to add any one of them you show, but all of them are fantastic. |

Excellent find! Looks to be in great condition. Don't have any of them yet, so didn't know about the differences. Now I do. Mind if I ask where you found it? |

Cool. I have the blue 1300 and a red 1200. Never seen your other 1300s |

That's a bit disappointing that the rear window went away, but it's still a cool truck either way. |

Hi Mike, this one came out of States via eBay and a lot less expensive than the few I've seen in Japan. Thanks everyone for the comments! |

Ha! Well, I guess sometimes good things do come out of eBay. Congrats! |
