…when 2000GTs were still on the road!
Just thought the description of this video was hilarious! :D

I found another treasure on Marktplaats (Dutch Ebay): a JDM Nissan Cedric Y31 Brougham!

The car is powered by the 3 liter V6 VG30E, meaning it has 160hp and more importantly 247 N·m torque. Surely enough to move around this big green castle on wheels. ;)
The most beautiful element on this Cedric is by far the rabbit-ear-like fender mirrors. Very rare and certainly unique outside Japan:

The big question is: how did it get here? The registration dates back to early 1998, so perhaps a rich Japanese executive that was relocated to the Netherlands?
On the inside you won’t find the automatic gearbox on the transmission tunnel because it is located, as in the usual Cedric fashion, on the steering column:

Apart from that enough buttos to make a gadget freak go wild! :)
At the rear enough legroom and, of course, a lot of wood touches on the interior:

For European standards this would have been a luxurious car in 1991, but compared to Cedrics top model the Brougham VIP this car is actually quite bare… But is it worth its auction price of 4400 euros? (6000 dollars)

Now this is something different: a Nissan Skyline DR30 with a huge american influence. Maybe better to referred as the Skyline Trans Am:

You can clearly see the nose is a copy of the 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.
The big question remains: what were they thinking:

Lots and lots of scoops, wings and other stuff. It almost feels like a riced out Firebird… But the only thing is that it isn’t a Pontiac…
