With that out of the way, I welcome you to the sale of my simply wonderful:
1988 Nissan Silvia S12 Manual TURBO!
Originally a Showroom Car so it has the very rare factory 'Rally Pack' bodykit fitted.
1 lady owner most of it life since it was only a few years old. Always garaged so exceptionally straight and clean for what it is.
HPI Clear.
Low mileage.
And it was completely standard when I got it.
The original owner was a doctor who bought it out of the showroom when it was brand new. Special features!
What made me really buy this car, is not just how clean the interior was!
But, it must be the only remaining Nissan to still have the showroom "NO SMOKING" sticker still affixed to the dashboard from 1988! Absolutely amazing!
I bet you are never going to see another nissan from 1988 with that sticker ever again! If you love retro cool and unique features, then let this be it.
The rest of the spec is just gravy after this point.
Where do I start...
The son of the lady, who's car it was wanted it to go to someone who was going to return the car to the road, after it sitting in the garage for a few years after the passing of his mother.
It was as he explained:
"my mums prized possession", and, "we tried to get her another more modern car that would be easier for her to drive, but she always just wanted to keep the nissan", "She absolutely loved this car!". "She drove it into the garage, and then it just never moved for a while after she passed, and I could not get it started, and I have no idea where she hid the keys, so that nobody else could drive it. Luckily she left the door unlocked".
The non-start turned out to be a faulty fuel pump
which has now been replaced with a High Perfomance 340LPH APS high pressure pump. Please read on for all the other upgrades.
Anyway, I went to view the car and I was sold as soon as I had seen it.
The car was bought for a fair price, and it has since had work done to it in the region of £20, 000. 00+ in the past year.
What this car is now, is something that can be started on the first turn of the key and driven anywhere you like . Modern reliability, and strong performance good enough to keep up with todays fast car demands and even modern traffic should it be required. What this car will do for you is just boost your cool factor! It is soo retro and sooo wonderfully shaped and these Rare cars in the UK are a bit more common in the usa and some nice examples are reaching the 30, 000-40, 000 usd mark.
Admittedly so, but completely non biasedly, I see my car as a far nicer and superior example to whatever else is out there. It has had over a full years worth of work gone into it. Endless time, endless hours.
She has a current MOT, and she will not require an MOT in a year or so, as she will be tax and MOT exempt! That being said, her value will increase significantly aswell. So this is a great time to get into this "sure thing" investment.
The car starts on the first turn of the key every single time, and is ready to be enjoyed and driven.
It is honestly a shame I can not keep them all, but I am selling several of my JDM cars as part of a planned move.
You could put 20-30k miles on this car and probably still double your money in a couple of years.
The car also benefits from a full document video build thread from start to finish with hundreds of photographs too!
I have had every version of silvia from s12, s13, s14, s14a, s15, and the s15 varietta! The varietta is a very special car. But the s12 I would say is the best chassis of them all.
Even on standard suspension, the car feels very solid beneath you! It is very planted and it feels like you are driving something made in 2020
It is very sporty and very tight. Everything is effortless and it inspires spirited driving and confidence. You will love it and be looking fir every opportunity and sunny day to get it out and down to the shops or local car show!
Rest assured, with only about #14 S12 silvias left on the road in the UK, this car gets attention! Even more so than a ae86 for which this is much rarer, better styled, and a all round better 80's TURBO charged retro wedge straight out of the box!
And it sounds phenominal too with awesome turbo noises.
Endless miles of smiles! :It is a great looking, solid car, with a solid mechanical background that car be reliably enjoyed and had fun with.
