Brand new CNG-powered Nissan Junior in diplomatic plates 64CD 🇮🇷
📍Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪
Well.. not quite. It's a Zamyad 24.
The Nissan Junior was the competition to the Toyota Stout. Both rear wheel drive trucks that were a step up from the Hilux and Datsun of the 60's-80's.
Production of type started in 1956. In its 3rd iteration, the Junior was made in Japan from 1970 to 1982.
Here's the cool part - Iran still produces them today, a full 43 YEARS after production ended in Japan and over 3 x longer than the run of the Japanese 3rd generation.
I wonder what role this plays in the embassy.. hopefully it's part of the commercial trade section and they are trying to sell them in Kenya!
