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) * Dog-dish hubcap * 4-speed only (no auto) * Side stripe * racer Bee decal behind front wheel * Available in Yellow, White and Brown
- 1976 Honey Bee Brochure: Ratdat.com
- Highest Fuel Economy available in USA in 1976: 41 mpg highway, 29 mpg city
Features
The Honey Bee was based on the low-cost Standard model. Standard models have an 'S' suffix in the model number.
This is the difference, among other deletions, this equipment is not fitted:
- No Wheel covers (dogdish caps fitted)
- No Spare tire cover
- No Trunk mat
- No Cigarette lighter (blind plug fitted)
- No Speedometer trip meter
- No Rear window defogger switch (blind plug fitted)
- 1976 Honey Bee has the defogger
- No Carpet (only Mat)
- California models included carpet
- No Arm rest (pull handle is fitted)
- No Door trim moulding
- No Rear side moulding
- No Rear seat ashtray
- No Wiper blade high-speed fin (uses basic type from 620 truck)
- No Door lamp switch for assistant side
- No Console box
- No Non-glare glass
- No Chrome moulding for windshield
- No Chrome moulding for rear window
Changed Equipment:
- Blackwall tires now fitted (instead of whitewalls)
- Trunk finisher: hardboard instead of laminated
- Front seat is folding only, instead of reclining + forward-folding
- Interior Trim: Black or Beige only (Deluxe has Black, Blue or Brown)
- Floor trim: Black only (Black or Brown in California)
And the good part:
- 10 pounds lighter than Deluxe model 2-dr sedan
Stripes
1. The stripe was positioned along the belt line from the front of the car back to the rear wheel center line.
2. The second type of strip was between the wheel wells, thinner at front and wider at back.
Both types of stripe have the words 'Honey Bee' inside the stripe
