Well, it’s December so we really should have an appropriate coloured vehicle to match the season and here it is Eileen’s Nissan 100NX. Eileen became the owner of this vehicle in 2017 and went on to win Best Japanese Car in Show at Tatton, not once, but twice in 2017 and 2018.
The Nissan 100NX was initially introduced in the UK in April 1991 as part of the Nissan Pulsar range replacing the Nissan Sunny 1.6 GSX Coupe. At this time, Nissan UK, the British importer, were in a heated dispute with Nissan Motor Corporation over profit margins. In an attempt to deliberately shrink market share, Nissan UK launched the entire Pulsar range with no promotion as well as only providing a limited colour range and pricing all models well above their position in the market. At launch the 100NX was only available with the 1.6L 95 PS carburettor engine, and in a basic specification, priced at £14,585, the same price as a 2.0 L Toyota MR2 and £1,000 more than the 2.0L Honda Prelude. The T-bar roof and automatic transmission were optional.
In January 1992 Nissan Motor Corporation set up their own importer (Nissan Motor (GB) LTD) and relaunched the entire Nissan Range, the 100NX now coming with alloy wheels, T-bar roof and front foglights as standard at a lower price of £11,817 and was available in a full range of colours. But you can’t beat this red.
メリークリスマス!
And for those of us who can’t read Japanese – Merry Christmas!
