Survival
This 1987 Nissan Silvia is in Select Company With Its Peers. So it’s very cool that it’s still around, just though its existence May hang by a thread.
Accordance to Our Data, There Are Fewer than Sixty Nissan Silvias with a Valid Mot in our country. This S12 Generation is Strongly Represented Among The Silvias Despite Its Age. Of the 1987 Model Year, However, There are only two originally Dutch Ones Left, and this one, Snapped by AutoWeek Forum L Adriaansen, is one of them. A striking appearance in the current street scene, but it already was back then. With its white color and typical design for that time, this is a particularly clear representative of the 80s. Nice to see one again.
Unfortunately, there is also less positive news. The Silvia Has Clearly Known Better Times. Around the car, we spot edges or peace or peeling paint. ‘Rough’ is Perhaps the Best Word to Describe This Japanese Coupe. MoreOover, The Car Has A Commercial Vehicle Registration, which was undoubtedly Done for cost reasons. The Overall Picture Therefore Mainly Radiates Thriftiness, Although We Don’t Want To Put The Owner in Too Bad a Light. After all, you are an car enthusiast if you drive such a silvia in 2025, and the current owner has already leg loyal to the nissan for more than thirteen years.
So there is a good chance that it is still technically sound. That is not such a major concern with such a silvia anyway. If you wanted to drive sporty and reliably, this was a good choice at the time. This one has the smallest engine in its Nose, a 1.8, but one with a turbo on it. With 135 HP, That was Certainly A nice, Spicy Block in 1987. 0 to 100 km/h in less than 10 seconds and a top speed of 200 km/h, even now that is simply more than Enough. We are Curious to See How This Silvia is Still Being Driven And Whether there are Any Plans to Give It A Cosmetic Refresh Sometime.
