The Datsun B-210 Honey Bee was a special low-cost model offered in the United States. It was the low-spec Standard model with no carpeting, but could be had with a special stripe and Bee decal. Its goal was to sell to a young, first time buyer who could not afford a regular B210. Honey Bee was only offered as a 2-dr sedan.

B210 Standard
* All vinyl interior (no carpet)

Features

The Honey Bee was based on the low-cost Standard (stripper, poverty pack) model. Standard models have an 'S' suffix in the model number. The Honey Bee was a Nissan Motor Co. in USA national offering. The decals were applied at port of entry, and VIN numbers recorded by Nissan and dealers. The VIN alone is nothing special, they are the same as STD model 2-dr sedan.
