Hi my names Andy and i have a mint condition 'D' reg Automatic mk2 Nissan Silvia,which has only 36000 miles on the clock from new!.Yes its okay you did read that right,its probably the only one in the country in such condition.The car is one of the early mk2's as 'C' reg cars saw the last of the much praised and well built mk1's.I have loads of history with the car including all MOT's and the original fully stamped up service record and warranty booklet.
from what i understand the car has featured in an american magazine and has been published in a book about 1980's sports cars.
my car is in original condition,has never been modified and totally mint inside and out,and has had 4 owners.
I would love to know if there are any other owners with a similar car in the club?

how is the rear spoiler and alloys(corrosion) as these are the things that show age signs on the near minters .

Sounds good. Do you have any plans for it and how did you come across s12's in general?

its nice to know there are some low mileage silvias around.i intend to keep it original and standard and try and get to some shows and events throughout the year,but mainly use it for sunny days out.the rear spoiler has no corrosion whatsoever(as i know these are a very weak point on all silvias) and the bodywork has no rust at all anywhere even underneath.the alloy wheels have very slight corrosion but i will at some point get those re-furbished.it has the original wheel centre caps with the nissan logo in red on them.the interior has no marks at all and no rips or tears,its like new inside.the paintwork has very light polish buff marks and 1 or 2 little tiny dents but hey its 19 years old!,so i dont think its done to bad.
i got into silvias through my father as he has owned 2 from new and still has his second one which is a black mk1 auto with 112k and awaiting an engine change but he has owned it from new and is in very good condition and hes dry stored it for the last 10 years.not really much i dont know about the silvia as ive followed them from when they first came out,and for the last few years have been searching for a good example and finally found it.

Hi+welcome

i bought a red one just over a year ago with 40k on the clock... it was written off by an impatiant woman before it made 50k

I now own a b plate mk1, chassis at 60 summat now.. this like yours was once owned by an old man and is in great condition ignoring my current engine problems
