Battery is almost as big as the engine I don't think adding the wood was a good idea. Rare little car though.
Regarding the styling. Before they became leaders in styling... they used to "borrow" styling cues from existing cars on the street. That is why the 70's Celecia at some angles looks like a 7/8 Mustang fastback, the introduction of the Infinity a direct copy of a Mercedes with a gaudy badge where the grill should have been. The Domo show car that was a complete rip off of many Bertone designs including the Countach. I could go on. Today however,Japanese stylists have become leaders instead of copying. Even tho I don't like everything they come up with I have to admit they are beating new paths. Nissan wasn't the only one to copy Fiat. Russians did it too back then. Oh.... the Nissan/Datsun 2000 was a complete copy of an MG right down to the headlight scoops!
If it's the same 1200 engine which was carried over into the later Datsun 210, it should have an aluminum head which could burn unleaded without having to replace the seats Even back then, their styling was original, when left on their own and didn't try to imitate our art. This was one of my favorites. The big turn-off was the solid rear axle, though. They really should have offered the suspension of the 510 and 810:
The Russians, Poles, and Turks all built FIATs under license. They changed the cars slightly for their requirements.
The Russians used their own engines. The original FIATs had dual overhead cams and the Russian replacements only have one
Not to mention that the Russian, and Yugoslavian versions were licensed from Fiat I do not think Nissan paid for a production license
And some Russian engines were 2 cycle oil To high jack.... Russia has been using other bodys from almost day one. Early Gaz trucks were Fords, much or prior and during WWII.... Little know and in big denial fact, you could say Ol' Henry was a communist supporter, yet hid in the closet about it. Studebaker/Packard also gave/sold them tooling for cars and trucks that were modified.... Cold War was a strange place in the 50's ......Going under, so sell your stuff to the "other guys"??? How does that work, and yet it did!
Henry Ford was anything but a communist. That's a first that behind the Iron Curtain countries ever paid for anything they copied. That Packard copy used a Chrysler automatic trannie copy. I think it was a 2-speed. 2-cycle engines were used by the Poles (very few of these death-traps had suicide doors): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FSO_Syrena ...as well as by the East Germans. The 2-cylinder variety was purely of East German concept. The 3-cylinder was annexed from Auto Union whose factory unfortunately happened to be located in the Soviet zone. The 2-cylinder and 3:
