Ok thanks. I won't lie I am a bit apprehensive about this one. But I guess if it looks right when I get there it will still be worth it

Yes that's exactly what I saw too. How do you mean there may be a problem? Am I correct in thinking that some European countries use right hand drive?

The original Nissan paperwork is from the algarve

Checked again and it definitely sais right hand drive European model

The vin on the v5 is JN10RGZ32U0010953 Pretty sure I used the right one

It doesn't have the fog/indicator located in the corners of the front bumper, just vents where they sit, it has smaller rectangular units located either side on the front of the bumper, I'm sure I read that if that's the case it's a European model?

Thanks, I'm looking forward to this build. I just hope it's not as much of a wallet killer as my previous project. That was a 1995 bmw 840ci manual. It litertaly broke the wallet! I was looking for a 2 seat but everywhere I read that they don't drive/handle as well as the 2+2

Thanks I found it, only options are and and auto climate control. It's listed as a Europe model though. Should that matter?

Ahhh u bought this from.your friend Yes? I missed out by just a few days from what he told me. Looks nice hope you enjoy it

Looks like it was a cat C in 2001. The engine number matches on hpi and v5 But can't see the vin on the hpi check

Sorry the v5 shows 4 previous keepers with the last keeper an accredited business in his family name for mobility scooters. Same address as where the car is stored now

Yep the vin is on it. Yes 5 previous owners, also he has part of the old v5 with who I assume is his brother with same surname. Likewise the you states the owner changed in november 2011 But the v5 shows 2008

It looks like his brother was the previous owner having looked through the images of paper work. Only think I can't work out is the v5 shows the current owner (seller) from 2008. But the hpi check is showing November 2017

Hi it's in letchworth. I am going up with a flatbed. The owner if he is to be believed has returned to thailand. It is stored at the company he used to own. Spoke with them and they confirm this. The address on the v5 his old address does show the car on his drive on google maps. He's sent me photos of all of the paperwork and there's loada. But, it's with him in Thailand as he sais he was hop8ng to ship it there. The catch is he said he will send the documents by 3 day airmail, and do a receipt for the purchase. The hip check doesn't confirm the vin which is annoying as I have a photo of the v5 pages. I am cautious but will proceed if all seems ok on inspection. Would be really handy if there's any members near letchworth tho

Thanks for the warm welcome. If it all turns out to be straight and with just 67000 miles and manual it will keep me happy for a long time. I'm going with a friend on Monday to load it and bring it back to my mechanic. I had been looking at examples in better shape but they keep selling just before I go to inspect, seems these are being snapped up just lately

Hi all, I would be very keen to have the vin number as I should be collecting it on Monday, I also have a photo of the v5 document so would be good to know before I make the 79 mile journey. Just joined the forum tonight and saw this. I.understand these are money pits but I negotiated a good price after he emailed to say he was removing it from eBay due to finding out it was a cat C. If it all appears straight when I go to get it then it will be a long term slow restoration project. Look forward to speaking with you all in future
