87-1980-violet

The launch in May 1977 of the second-generation Violet (A10) completed the trio: Violet (Nissan), Auster (Cherry) and Stanza (Sunny). Inheriting Nissan’s rally tradition, the A10 did well in the overseas rallies, like the 710 Violet. This commemorative car was driven by S. Mehta team when they won the 28th Safari Rally in 1980.
