WTF is this ? Humour ?
You have Nissans from the golden age - they ARE reliable. If they're not, it's down to lack of care. With nearly 12 months to have prepared the car, if anyone has any doute that their car won't make more miles than to the nearest car-show and back with AA braekdown and home-start just in case, don't bother coming !
I can't believe these negative waves about these cars. Drive in convoy and carry spares !
