1988 NISSAN SILVIA S12 TURBO MANUAL

1809cc, petrol. This white Nissan Silvia Turbo is a facelifted S12 example with only 3 registered keepers from new. The first 2 keepers are believed to represent the same driver, as the car was originally his company vehicle until he bought it for himself 3 months later and held onto it for 25 years. The odometer reading of 64,875 miles is believed to be authentic, and the vendor has owned it since 2013.

The car is sold as a project for recommissioning, having been in stored in a garage for the last few years and run up to temperature occasionally, until a fault developed with the fuel pump. It would benefit from some minor cosmetic improvements but overall it appears to be in straight and original condition, with a smart blue cloth interior featuring a period radio, electric windows and electric mirrors. The alloy wheels are believed to be the car's only modification, and the originals are in the boot. The engine does fire briefly on Easystart, and the vendor's mechanic has diagnosed it as requiring a new fuel pump.

It comes with the current V5C and most of its MoT certificates, covering 1993 up to its latest certificate which was passed with no advisories in 2016. We don't have an maintenance history, but the vendor tells us that it was worked on by a mechanic who is a friend of his before being parked up. That work including renewal of the rear calipers and a couple of brake pipes.
