About this car

This 1977 Nissan Skyline GC111kai is a rare classic with a 2,800 cc engine, five speed manual gearbox and just 12,000 km (approximately 7,456 miles) from new, sold via USS Tokyo.

The GC111 generation of Skyline is one of the more understated chassis codes from Nissan's long running model line, built in the era before the GT-R name returned to Japanese roads. Finished in green, this example carries an auction grade of 3.5 with a C interior grade, suggesting a well used but honestly presented car for its age. The translated auction sheet on this page gives the full detail on panel condition, interior wear and any noted marks, and is worth reading closely given how uncommon original mileage cars from this period have become.

Minimum bid£47,250

With such low recorded mileage for a car approaching fifty years old, this Skyline is likely to appeal to collectors looking for an early, largely unmolested example of Nissan's saloon heritage rather than a driver focused purchase. As the car is now well over 25 years old, it qualifies for import into the United States under that country's 25 year rule, opening it up to American enthusiasts as well as UK and worldwide buyers.

Autoselecta can bid for this Nissan Skyline on your behalf at the USS Tokyo auction and arrange shipping to the UK or overseas once purchased.
