1986 Nissan 300C 4dr (Y30)
This one was my favourite of the three 300C Cedrics I had. Datman got it from a scrapyard or somewhere after it had suffered a hit in the side. The B-pillar got pushed back out and I got hold of some doors off a car that was going to be banger raced which were swapped across.
I ending up with it in a swap for the 1976 Laurel I had at the time, and it proved to be a reliable and amusing daily driver. The black doors and it being filthy for much of the time added to the appeal.
These are fun to drive, with their square looks hiding a VG30E V6 engine giving 155bhp. Handling isn’t great, but with a plush interior and big-car feel and solidity who cares? As noted elsewhere, it later got swapped for another white 300C and it eventually got banger raced.
