This Datsun Skyline 2000 GT is a JDM example of the now rare sporting coupe, with a custom appearance thanks to a few discreet modifications. Under the bonnet sits a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-six, believed to send around 103kW to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This example is noted to have been with its current owner for two years. The odometer shows 134,732 kilometres, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1981 This Datsun Skyline 2000 GT Turbo is finished in Purple Silver metallic with black 2000 GT Turbo stickers, over an optional black vinyl-trimmed interior. It rides on striking 15-inch Techno Racing wheels, with Bridgestone tyres. Equipment includes electrically adjustable wing mirrors, electric windows, stainless steel rain visors, rear window louvres, and front and rear impact bumpers. Modifications to this car include the original gearbox being replaced with a five-speed manual transmission; as well as custom-made adjustable coilovers on the front and rear, 15-inch Hayashi TRV wheels, and ‘C210’ front lights and grille. The vehicle will be supplied with its owner's manual, import approval, Japanese export certificate, mechanical receipts from the past 12 months, three keys, the original factory Turbo Campagnolo wheels, and the original ‘C211’ front lights and grille.
