Time for me to raise my hand and say it was me - i bought it. Wanted to wait until I had the car and everything was sorted before letting everyone know. So rest assured it's within the club.

 

Picked it up on Friday after getting 3 trains & tube taking 5 1/2 hours. Then drove it the 250 miles home for which I almost felt guilty for putting the mileage on it.

 

Thanks to Richard for his assesment of the car. I live too far away to have looked at it personally so Richard's post was very useful. The car is pretty much as Richard described - very orginal and befitting the 11,600 miles. There is some damage from the intense heat of Brunei e.g. some of the fabric is peeling on the door cards, fading on the front bumper - but nothing that's not easily sorted. All the important things are in great condition - bodywork (definately no rust) & very clean underneath, engine is very smooth, brakes very responsive. Just a couple of jobs and it'll be immaculate.

 

Rest assured I bought this car for its orginallity and it will not be modified at all. A no rust, unmodified, uk, low mileage car is so rare these days - that's how its staying.

 

It was part of the Sultan of Brunei's collection. Click the following link (posted in 2006) to see the type and number of cars the Sultan owns. This Nissan appears in the list.

It came back to the UK with an Aston Martin Virage of similar age with 290 miles on the clock. Neither this car or the Aston have been used since being back in the UK.

 

I've now got 3 x 300zx's so one will have to go - but that'll be another thread ;)

Congrats! You realise you're gonna have no life now (keeping it clean)? ;)
