Datsun 1200 came in two wagon forms: the 2-dr wagon and the 4-dr wagon. In some literature these were called 3-dr and 5-dr. In Japan both 2-dr and 4-dr wagons are called バン (van), hence the V- prefix in VB110.

Overview
Van = Wagon. The body code is VB110 (V for Van)
'Van' is used in Japan, while US and Australia commonly say wagon. UK says Estate. Danish say Stationcar. Whatever you call it, it's the most versatile of the Datsun 1200 range.
Wagon features: * rear hanging straps * rail inside rear window * rear side glass "kick-up" from door glass * straight Bumper with no light and no notch
More utilitarian two-door wagons were known as "sedan delivery" cars, often with solid panels where the rear side windows would be.
wikipedia:Sedan delivery
Commercial bodies seem to suffer from being knocked around more than passenger models, so finding a very good condition wagon is a bit more challenging than for a coupe or sedan.
2-door Wagon
aka 3-door wagon. These seem to have been sold mostly in Japan and New Zealand.

Wagons never came in GX trim, but look good dressed out with GX-5 features
Facelift
1972 Facelift wagon used the updated grille but the old bonnet, as this 1972 Super-Deluxe van shows
Style Exercises
The 1200 wagon has an ungainly sweep up on the rear side window. What would it look like without this?
