Automatic as well which will hopefully stop some cretin from trying to turn it into a drift car
Disturbingly appealing, and cooler than a penguin's flip flop.
So disappointed to see this exceed my shed budget. That Alfa looks naughty too.

could somebody find and post a link to something that might be right up this threads street. since a recent update i am unable to cut and paste links.

it is a 2004 nissan skyline saloon ,not much cash and a bit different. worth a look , not sure if anyone knows anything about them that could enlighten us.
this one? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2017...

V35/CPV35 is what wiki says, I confess I don't know many people on the forum with them but there are a few around. I think they are quite popular in the states (the infiniti version iirc). Anyway from wiki:
wiki said:
"The 11th-generation (V35) Nissan Skyline, introduced in June 2001, was based on Nissan's FM platform, shared with the Nissan 350Z. The Nissan Skyline used a front-midship engine (VQ35DE and others as below), rear-wheel-drive layout[50] (four-wheel drive was available for the sedan) to achieve a 52%/48% weight distribution. The V35 was the first Skyline made for export to the United States. There it was sold under the company's luxury brand, Infiniti as the Infiniti G35."

thanks , i am on some strong painkillers at the moment and they have messed up my google skills obviously smile
never seen one and no-one has ever raved about them to me. i like the fact that it is quirky and cheap. i recently needed a cheap car , whilst this would have been out of budget for me , it looks like a lot of car for the money.

I think they are pretty fun from the one couple I know who turned up to Japfest with the coupe version and underrated in the Skyline world. It's just out of reach at the moment for me but I am interested although I should really get an IS300. Wonder who imported it as the GTR badge on the back looks like someone was trying too hard.

It's worth it purely for this group.



Some very bad influences

Tour de Force blue suits it much better.

Judging by the colour and the fact that it's RHD it must be one of the Sultan of Brunei's specials, which clearly makes £2,995 something of a bargain!

How do you get rid of a number plate if the car hasn't got an MoT?

Does he mean "the right person" or "a person of the right"?

It's old enough for a classic policy (my '96 car was on classic insurance 2 years ago!), but you may struggle with the classic policy and commuting combo?

I added commuting to my policy when my daily had to be taken out of service for a while. No problem as long as I still kept within the annual mileage limit. Fortunately my commute is only 7 miles each way.

Unless things have changed, a qualified 'yes'.

However, you'll have to speak to a specialised broker and the policy will probably come with mileage or other limitations. It may not therefore be any cheaper than a normal policy, especially if you want to use it as a daily driver, so if your aim is to save money then it's maybe not a sure-fire winner.

From memory, most insurers will happily regard anything over 20 years old as "classic".
