1966 Nissan President, NAN526D (1972)
John Powell photo.
Concluding the Datsun/Nissan photos, this was another one I was really, really pleased to acquire. I already knew of this President, as it appeared in What Car? magazine's monthly "Rarity" article sometime in the '70s. I think at the time it was owned by a milkman who bought it after he used to see it at the Japanese Embassy! In the 1990s it was then featured as a Classic & Sportscar magazine 'mystery car'. Maybe it was still an Embassy car at the time of this photo?
It doesn't seem to have remained on the road long enough to make it onto the DVLA system.
I don't know if it was this exact car, but a 150-series President of this type was banger raced circa 1999/2000.
Is that a Citroen DS estate driving by in the background? Looks to be following a Zephyr/Zodiac Mk4.
Can anyone identify the location? The caption just says that it was taken in London. The Lewis of Westminster sign may help, although not as much as I'd hoped as they appear to have been a chain. Taken on 5/8/72.
