TLV has many versions of the Bluebird, but this is the only 510 I've ever seen.  This hard-to-find car came from the eBay seller crosssea222(aka Japan Booster).  It was sold for around $25~$28(Summer of 2014).

  1. Hello, I ´m hughe fan of TLV and have started last year with collection of this amazing brand. No i have most models i need :-) and Nissan Bluebird 510 is one of my favourite. I have both Mr. K versions (red and white). Can i ask what does mean only 510? Btw i click and read all your TLV articles. Great job!

    1. Hi & thank you for reading. You know, I forgot all about the white version. When I mentioned the "only" 510, it meant that all other versions were the right-hand drive "Bluebird"(probably all JDM=Japan Domestic Market). 510 of course is what this car was known as in North America(left-hand drive). I think Hot Wheels almost always calls these "Bluebird 510".

      I couldn't agree more on the quality of this casting. I think Tomytec did an amazing job, especially with the detailing on the front end. Thanks again for reading!

  2. Ahh i did not notice this diference, Thank you a lot! So in Japan it was Datsun 510 Bluebird and in US Datsun 510?

    With detailing i agree, i made some nice Macro shots and front of car is just beauty :-) also have some more nice shots of couple of “510’s” i can share with you if you want :-)

    1. In Japan, it was mostly just "Bluebird" I believe, except when someone is speaking specific to the 510 line(they had other Bluebirds, which weren't 510/sedan), or car people, enthusiasts often refer to the cars by model numbers.

      I couldn't agree with you more on the macro shot photography. TLVs are great for that. Do you have your images posted somewhere where I can check them out? I'd love to see them.

    1. No problem. I'm a bigger car "toy" person than a actual car person. Thank you for visiting my blog. Most visitors I see on this blog are from United States, but I see many from Europe & SE Asia, so I guess many collectors in those areas. Interestingly, not a hit from China. I believe I had one Chinese collector mention that this blog is blocked from viewing there. lol Thanks again for reading.
