EQUIPMENT
Metallic Blue paintwork, Black leatherette upholstery, 5-speed manual transmission, Front and rear spoilers, BC Racing BR coilover suspension, 15-inch Rota alloy wheels in matte black, Wood-rimmed steering wheel, Wooden gear knob, Upgraded cylinder head, Triple Weber carbs, Original maintenance book.

EXTERIOR
Having previously been treated to a comprehensive bare metal restoration at Nissan this original UK example presents to an exceptional standard throughout. Unlike many older restos that start to show their age after a few years this one still appears factory fresh, the car having been carefully stored and only occasionally driven since the work was completed. Accordingly, the paintwork maintains a beautiful deep shine with barely an imperfection in sight. Looking closer, the panel gaps are spot-on and the chrome is immaculate all round with only a little light patina to the rear light cluster trims. The underside is also amazingly fresh with absolutely no corrosion, underseal, or signs of previous poor repair.

INTERIOR
Inside, you’re greeted with a fantastic 70s interior. The seats are still really supportive with little evidence of use, even to commonly worn areas such as the driver’s bolster, and the door cards are without any scratches or scuffs. The dashboard appears like new and the instruments are also excellent with only minor patina visible across some of the switchgear. In the footwells the carpets are spotless and even the boot area is pristine, discreetly housing the original spare wheel beneath the mat.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
Lift the bonnet and you’re treated to an impeccably clean engine bay, perfectly in line with the outstanding condition of the rest of the car. When the car was restored by Nissan a few years ago it was fully rebuilt back to factory specification (using new original parts) except for the key additions of an upgraded cylinder head and exhaust system, and triple Weber carbs – needless to say, it sounds fantastic and drives beautifully. The last service was carried out by Glyn Hopkin Nissan in June 2022, and since arriving with us the car has benefited from a minor tune-up prior to sale.

WHEELS, TYRES AND BRAKES
Filling the arches are newly fitted 15-inch Rota alloy wheels, all in perfect unmarked condition with a striking matte black finish. They are shod in brand new Yokohama Advan tyres with absolutely no wear at all. The brakes have all been checked and remain in fine operational condition, bringing the car to a halt quickly and in a straight line.

HISTORY FILE
This surely unrepeatable UK example was supplied to its first and only registered keeper in May 1973. It was originally sold by Fulton Motors Ltd, London, and has now driven just 73k miles from new. The original service book still accompanies the car with five early service stamps from the supplying dealer. There is also a file including some old MOTs, all the invoices from the restoration at Nissan plus lots more covering work over recent years.
