1987 Nissan Bluebird 1.6LX 5 speed classic Saloon For Sale

For Sale

Beautiful timewarp 32 year old 1987 classic Nissan Bluebird, rare 5-speed saloon model with very low mileage (79, XXX)

Reluctant sale of my father's classic car, bought at the beginning of his retirement and unfortunately his ill health forces sale due to the need for an automatic transmission car.

The Nissan Bluebird comes with long MOT (April 2020), service history and all paperwork. It stands on almost new tyres. Recently serviced.

The car was previously the pride and joy of Miss Valery Rogers.. who had enjoyed it for over a decade after inheriting it from her Grandfather.

You do not see many these Bluebird saloons any more, which to my eye are a beautifully simple shape before the hatchback came into it's own. It's pretty much the quintessential 1980s saloon classic and is now gaining something of a cult status in the class of practical classics.

The car although not perfect has been well maintained at great expense and has been garage kept as the paintwork will show. The interior is simply immaculate.



Engine and gearbox

The gearbox is seamless in all gears, the clutch perfect and light - gear changes are effortless and the gear selection nice and tight. There are no unwarranted noises from either gear selection or from gearbox itself.

The engine starts first time every time and runs without a trace of smoke. It has been recently serviced with a couple of outstanding jobs left to do.

Namely a hole in the exhaust/ manifold, which will need attention, but is not noisy. It can be a little smelly when driving due to escaping fumes.
The throttle pump jet in the carburettor is not as effecient as it should be and will need to be serviced at some point.

Otherwise the engine runs very nicely and delivers well, happy to sit at a constant 70mph on the motorways, with much left in reserve.

The engine maintains temperature and asides from the throttle needing replacement is in excellent health.
One thing to note is that if the throttle jet should stick open then this could result in the throttle sticking which is not ideal and could be dangerous so the car is sold needing repair. If this did happen you would obviously need to switch off the ignition.

Interior

The interior is largely in immaculate condition, no spills, stains or unwanted smells. The lovely blue dashboard and blue cloth seats are in fabulous condition.

The drive

Steering and suspension feel great. The engine, asides from the rather hesitant throttle pump jet, feels strong and smooth. The brakes feel fine and brake evenly.

Bodywork

The car has had some paint in it's time but looks in fabulous condition and has just been valeted. There are some areas that could be improved such as the rear lower panel, which has some visible corrosion on. Also a small ding on the number plate panel. Overall not perfect but incredibly good for a 32 year old car.

Underside

Some corrosion as is expected with a car of this age but structurally sound, any repairs or welding needed has been carried out professionally. My father's mechanic informs me he rust treated and waxoyled the rear chassis cross member at the last service.

Overall

A really lovely car that although wont win the show, will look great at any event and draw plenty of admiring comments and glances.

Having driven it recently myself, I find it has impeccable road manners, is very comfortable and really does look the part. The hesitancy in the throttle jet takes a little getting used to but once remedied will drive as good as new.

Inspection

Any inspection and test drive encouraged before auction end, the car is in my father's garage just south of Cambridge
