Yet people laughed at the Japanese motors that fit together properly and didn't rust to shit in a couple of years. The early Japanese cars were rot boxes (Datsuns, early Hondas), but they were mechanically a lot more reliable. Bit bland, but a sensible choice. Once they sorted the rust, they were cooking on gas. Something like a 90s Toyota Carina E, was probably peak reliable motoring. The Honda NSX remains my most desired car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it’s beyond factory new. it has that grey blue metallic paint they had but the depth of shine on it is weird, its like there’s a film of glass over the top of it. I can’t imagine how much the guy has spent / spending, and it is a Nissan Bluebird. But bloody hell it looks fine. About 5 years ago, I saw a mint condition Bluebird in the Sainsburys car park, near me. Looked perfect. A real time warp. Then the owner got out... and he was the same! Chap with a perfect mullet, Dennis Taylor glasses, a patterned jazzy 'Noel Edmunds' jumper, loose stonewashed jeans and I can't recall the footwear. I did ponder that he must be a time traveller and he'd come from the 80's purely to do his weekly 'big shop'. Never seen him since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
