Brochures: Nissan Skyline VBC110 van


Some time ago I aquired a JDM brochure of the Nissan Skyline VBC110 van:

I spotted it on a local auction site for a cheap price. I can’t think any other way of how this brochure actually got into the Netherlands than with the help of a collector, but why it was sold for a decent price puzzles me…

Perhaps because a lot of people can’t appreciate the weird 70s lines of the Kenmeri Skyline?

I just love that thick C-pillar of the wagon! Imagine how big the blind spot of this wagon must be!

The interior is, of course, a lower grade than in the other C110s. Nevertheless it looks awesomely 70s!

And size matters:

What about having that Nissan Anti-Pollution System?

I have no idea what the NAPS anti pollution system is (probably means it got a hemi-head), but I think that became standard on all other Nissans over the years! 😉

Vintage 1976 Nissan Skyline C110 brochure + posters

Just found this vintage 1976 Nissan Skyline GC110 brochure + posters in an auction on Ebay:
Nissan Skyline C110 brochure + posters
Nissan Skyline C110 brochure + posters

It does not only contain the GC110, but also posters of Ken and Meri, older Skylines (from 1957 onwards) and some racing cars(R380, R381 and the 50 victories by the Skyline!)

The Buy-me-now is right (39,95 AUD) but together with the shipping it is a bit steep… So if anyone wishes to give me a birthday present on the 16th, this is a good gift! 😉

You can find the auction here:

And hurry: the auction ends on the 11th of April!

Video: Nissan Skyline VC110 van

I did post some Skyline van videos before and all of them were by Deluxe1969. Now this video shows his own van: his Nissan Skyline VC110 van!

Beautiful, isn’t it?
The car itself is a G-16 powered Skyline deluxe, so double barrel carburettor and 100hp on the tap. I have no idea what the thing on the roof is, but IMO it looks like an ex-ambulance…

You can also see it in action in this video:

Now I want one too! Anyone who wants to buy a kidney? 😉
