I quite like the Police Tampo on the Kenmari Skyline!

Would rather in this colour scheme though.  If anyone finds one in this scheme, cash/swapz await, etc

I've got that one! I do prefer that scheme. I can have a look on my travels for one, plenty of older case stuff knocking about round here. Or what have you got for trade or swaps?

Always known this as Datsun...  But look, the concept is a Nissan.    I did not know this.

Weirdly, the Datsun name had only been used on export-market cars by Nissan Motor Co since the late 1950s. Any JDM stuff was Nissan branded after that, until the Datsun name was canned worldwide in 1983/84.

I can kind of understand why Matchbox called this one a Datsun, as the Nissan name would have meant nothing to UK kids - but the orange 270X concept they made in the Superkings range was correctly badged as a Nissan...

(Quite a while back I bored everyone with a potted history of Nissan, which I'll link to once I find it)
