Did these have suicide doors?Second gen still had sliding rear doors but was based on the Stanza/Bluebird and used the 1.8 and 2.0 engines from them. I have a soft spot for old Datsun/Nissans.......

Always liked the 512m for some reason but have never seen it with this rear wing: https://ddclassics.com/car-listing/left-hand-drive...
Presume it was a factory option?

No. Definitely aftermarket!
From the advert: "Distinctive with its rear spoiler our fabulous example is clearly something far beyond the factory F512 M."

That i like
The thing about the Multipla is that it was small, had very basic, thin seats and you had to be cool with people being very close to you. As kids, we piled into one on a dealer's lot but compared to a Cortina Mk III, it was like putting stools in a cardboard box.There is more to a people carrier than just numbers.

Oh, completely forgot about that. Really have a soft spot for the Y10. Love the design and the place in the market they had with the little thing -- being one of the rare "luxury" small cars back in the day. As super micro 4x4s go, I'd much rather have an original Panda.
But a Y10 Turbo? Yes please! Frontal area of a postage stamp, light weight, great looks. Not much seems to have survived though :-/.

http://headengineering.co.uk/ - Engineering allegedly done by these guys, but no reference on their CAD-heavy site.
Power is (again allegedly) a 2.0 Honda lump.
It's a new project, not as retro as it might appear (2018/19ish).
Some evidence for the allegation. http://headengineering.co.uk/ - Engineering allegedly done by these guys, but no reference on their CAD-heavy site.

It would appear the prototype is not the only example in existence. LHD version on HEAD Facebook page: October 2019.
Bet it goes pretty well with the Honda Lump.

Looking at the Y10, and never considered this before, is it some how Uno related/ based?
It used the Panda front suspension but was an in-house design. Marketed as the Lancia Y10, it was very popular as a chic city car.Edited by Mammasaid on Saturday 22 February 12:49
