A rare Japanese coachbuilt car seldom seen on UK roads
Based upon the Nissan Silvia S13
One of only 500 examples produced, all reportedly sold within four days of announcement
Fresh MOT to be applied before point of sale
The Appeal
The Mitsuoka La Seyde is among the most distinctive cars ever to emerge from Japan. Built by Mitsuoka Motors - widely regarded as the country's smallest volume car manufacturer - the La Seyde married pre-war-inspired neo-classic coachwork on the back of the Nissan Silvia S13. It was practically purpose-built for wedding hire use, and remained a highly limited machine. Only 500 were produced, and all were reportedly spoken for within four days of the model's announcement.
This right-hand-drive example is finished in white and has had just two former registered keepers since its arrival on British soil in 2019. The vendor states the car is in very nice condition throughout and drives well. This La Seyde is a highly unusual, impossible-to-ignore machine that's bound to turn heads. dsc00180.jpg1.09 MB
