Description
A true survivor from the golden era of 4x4s, this 1983 Nissan Patrol is a rare find with just 45, 500 genuine miles on the clock. Powered by a dependable 2. 8L petrol engine and paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox, this rugged classic delivers a raw, capable driving experience that modern SUVs simply can’t replicate. Presented in a striking two-tone silver and blue finish, the Patrol is in perfect usable condition inside and out with a soft patina, with a beautifully preserved blue retro interior, complete with original striped seats, rubber mats, and a large sunroof.
This particular Patrol was featured on the hit TV show Wheeler Dealers, where it was handpicked as the dream car for Kelly, who upgraded from a VW Touran to this very Nissan Patrol—highlighting its charm, character, and enduring appeal. Fitted with period-correct features such as chrome wheels, mud flaps, and a front bull bar, it’s ideal for collectors, enthusiasts, or anyone seeking an iconic, usable classic 4x4.
A Brief History of the Nissan Patrol
First launched in the early 1950s, the Nissan Patrol has long been celebrated for its durability and off-road prowess. By the time this 160 Series (1980–1989) model arrived, the Patrol had cemented its reputation as a serious alternative to the Land Rover and Toyota Land Cruiser. Known for its simple, rugged engineering—solid axles, part-time 4WD, and robust mechanicals—the Patrol was built to handle the toughest environments, from deserts to mountains. Today, well-preserved examples like this are increasingly sought after, not just for their capability but for their unique style and heritage.
