Here's the Nissan Silvia CSP311. I'm probably one of the first people in my area to have this, but don't quote me on that.
Publicly making its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in September 1964, the car was known as the Datsun Coupe 1500 at first. Based on the Datsun Sports, better known as the Fairlady 2000, the Silvia was a hand-built piece of engineering styled with input from Count Albrecht Goertz, the designer of such cars including the BMW 507 and 503 and was tasked to do design consultation work on the Toyota 2000GT.
Powered by a 1.6L R series inline-4 equipped with twin SU carburetors, the engine pumped out 96 BHP. Sold at Nissan Bluebird Stores from 1965 to 1968, only 554 were produced due to the hand-built nature of the car, of which only 59 were exported.
This car features Mona Lisa decals from the Nissan Silvia S15 Spec-S from the movie The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
