howdy doody everyone!
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.

where abouts down south,and d you know if its still for sale??.
im going to take some pics of mine sometime over the next few days,as the weather where i am is a bit hit and miss and i dont like taking her out in the rain.i took her out today as it was sunny till about 2 this afternoon and ive just cleaned and polished her.to be honest you really have to see her to believe it she really is in A1 condition.even the drivers seat bolsters are good,almost like new.and the rear spoiler is A1 with just a pin prick sized hole one end which im goin to treat with waxoyl.also gonna get wheels refurbished.she starts,drives and stops like a new car.are there going to be any shows soon that i can take her to that anyone knows of???.a mate of mine used a surringe to inject waxoyl underneath the rear spolier of his silvia when it had really low mileage and now his has done over 100k and the spoiler like new,as he treated it with armour all to.
