The S110 Nissan Silvia, sold in the United States as the Datsun 200SX for the 1979 through 1983 model years, has all but disappeared from American roads by now. We've seen a couple of the S110's successor, the S12, in this series: this '86 200SX and this '86 200SX Turbo, and that's it. Late last week, I spotted this faded but unrusty two-tone '81 at a Northern California wrecking yard.
A mere 158,000 miles on the clock.
This switch is the tipoff that there's a phonograph-based Voice Annunciator System box somewhere in the car, but I couldn't reach it with the screwdrivers-and-a-needlenose toolkit I had on me at the time. Anyway, I've got at least four of the things in my hoard at this point.
No CONELRAD stations indicated on this AM/FM radio, but it does have an analog signal-strength meter and an exquisitely early-1980s equalizer.
You could get these cars in beige-and-brown two-tone, though this one is a more subdued blue-on-blue.
The US-market ads for this car were a little boring, but such was not the case in Japan.
