Recently imported from sunny California, my original plan was to restore and preserve it but my wife told me I have too many....so, barely arrived, it is for sale !

Completely original, with matching numbers and with its original automatic gearbox.
Nissan 110 red with white trim inside - panels and headliner can be painted black.

It's getting harder and harder to find cars this original and untouched - it took me months, contacts and false leads to find this one!

The chassis is sound, leaving little work to be done before preparing to paint, a professional restorer will notice and appreciate how little remains to be done.

Don't forget that this car is already over 50 years old !

Overall in good condition, there are a few points to review:

The rear light panel, valance and right rear wing
The lower sills in front of both wheelarches
The front left wing and door at the bottom
Part of the driver's floor

(all high quality sheet metal is now available new in Europe!)

I took dozens of photos to show the good and the bad points and I am at your disposal if you need to take others to reassure you about the great condition of the car (available as a ZIP file)
Please only ask for them if you are seriously interested in buying - don't waste your time and mine!

Yes, the price is negociable within reasonable limits; please, let's avoid outlandish proposals by acknowledging the quality of the bodywork and the general condition of the car!

The French-recognised FFVE registration certificate, its USA 'title' (CG) and the customs 846-A paper (proof of its customs clearance) will be supplied with the car.

Also included with the car will be all the parts needed to convert it to a 5 speed gearbox, eg pedal set, clutch assembly, 5x manual gearbox...

And it will be my pleasure to help the new owner find other parts and help with the administration and then the registration.

No exchanges (see the 1st sentence please)!

€23500 / £19975ono

I can transport/deliver the car at cost.

It's getting harder and harder to find cars this original and untouched - it took me months, contacts and false leads to find this one!

Complete and fully original, with matching numbers and currently with its original automatic gearbox which often protects engines from street-racing during its life.
Nissan 110 red with white trim inside - panels and headliner can be painted black.

The chassis is sound, leaving little work to do before preparing to paint, a professional restorer will notice and appreciate how little there is to do.

Overall in very good condition, there are a few points to review:

The taillight panel, valance and right rear fender
Part of the left floor under the seat
The lower bodies in front of the passages for the two rear wheels*
The front fender and left door at the bottom*

*a few bubbles below the paint

All high quality sheet metal is available new now in Europe!

I took 700mb of photos (available under download of a ZIP file) to show the good and the bad points and I am at your disposal if you need others.
Please only ask for them if you are seriously interested in buying - don't waste your time and mine; the best is always to come and see the car.

Don't forget this classic car is over 50 years old and is sold as a project for the serious collector who loves Zs.

The FFVE registration certificate, its 'title' (CG) USA and the 846-A file (proof of its customs clearance) will be provided with the car.

Its safe transportation will be possible at your expense because I have a double axle trailer.

Who I am ? Google 'Sean Dezart'; great enthusiast for +30 years and with 6x Zs at home now, hence my wife's opposition!
It will therefore be my pleasure to help the new owner find other parts and help with the administration/registration to see another wonder on our roads.

Firm price acknowledging the quality of the bodywork and the general condition of the car!

I'm surprised that you had to drop the price so low, especially considering what you've said about LHD cars in Europe.

Looked like a great buy to me, despite it being an auto.
