Yes, so warm you're almost burning yourself now Neil

It also goes under a name that got an airing in the unusual car names thread

Its not a fully badged up Nissan Cedric then Jim?

Can't find a truly similar image to the front grill of "yours" with the "V6" badge on it. Did find a Swiss brochure though!

I think I've probably got close enough for a "reveal" Jim!

They were never officially imported here - but there's an owners club!

I guess that for such a car an owners club is essential for spares and the like...

No, a friend in Japan is what's essential - OR the expertise to contend with Japanese "eBay"

That sounds like fun

As do the surprisingly high numbers of specialists who export Japanese home market vehicles all over the world.

Spotted one of these on Sunday as I went out on my otter expedition. It was Orange! (as you might expect). Did it come in any other colours I wonder?

Not from the factory but a black one with orange graphics was particularly striking, also seen white, pale blue - & a pink one.
