Wednesday 02th february 2011
Early rise, at 8 in the morning I was at my mate's place to collect my S12 Grand Prix in Stützengrün (Germany) About 700kmh's from my place. Stützengrün  Tom Tom said it would take about 9hours drive with speed limitation of 90kmh  Crossed through the whole of Germany with Patrol and trailer     At certain point even dumb dumb (tom tom) lost track   After some hours we came in the direction off Dresden. The road kept getting smaller, but the Nissan Patrol was still going strong  In the end, after alot of time, random shit chat, shitty coffee and strong diesel we arrived in the small town. Look around and there the S12 stood  Instand "crush" again  Took a quick peak below the car and the seller came with a half liter of beer. Started the S12 GP for a moment to see how it runs, testdrive was a problem because of the snow. Lots of it. Snow and RWD is fun, but not for testride. Looked in and underneath the car, the previous owner had put new pistons and camshafts in it, according to the seller. So that will be checked.  Car stood still for more then 10 years (suspended) Car on trailer and then we went into their shed with some typical stuff. Beer, naked posters of ladys, frozen beer and torched beer to unfreeze it. We also did one beer there and then went home for a long way back.     It had became dark, and after the usefull pitstops, we arrived home. Parked the car, did some S12 test driving and went home with the mazda 323 (my other car).   I was in bed at 4 and was totally broken.

Today I stood up early, fixed myself a garage for the S12 and went to see the S12 in daylight Bad points - paint especially on the fiberglass widefenders - Ashtray missing, and the foglights front - absorber right rear is leaking, needs replacement - exhaust system is leaking near the hand brake cable - blower only works on 4, so the blower resistence? needs replacement or solder Good points - tires with enough rubber - almost no rust underneath - as we could tell its well maintaned - oil is good - disks and pads are in very good nick - radiator looks new pics Interior         Exterior            In the garage

Now that looks awsome!
How many gp models were made? Limited edition? Do they come in right hand drive aswell? How rare a find are they? I love it mate. Great find! I guess its a desirable classic of the future and the price can only go up? What did you pay for it if you don't mind?
