STORY

The Liberta Villa was the third sister of the Pulsar, the one sold by the Bluebird companies of Nissan Store, where the Pulsar went through Cherry Store and the Langley through Prince Store. It appeared on 15 June 1982 in place of the Violet Liberta, a 1.6 and 1.8 car that had lasted barely a year, and it dropped a class to the Pulsar's size. Only a four-door saloon was offered, with rectangular quad headlamps of its own, while the Langley came as hatchbacks only and the Pulsar added its own saloon the same month; an E15ET SSS Turbo followed in May 1983. The N12 stayed on sale to October 1986, five months after the Pulsar changed to N13, and reached 70,291 registrations. The N13 added a three-door hatchback, won Nissan its first Japan Car of the Year with its sisters, and the name ended in August 1990.
