Yes, so warm you're almost burning yourself now Neil

Its not a fully badged up Nissan Cedric then Jim?
Can't find a truly similar image to the front grill of "yours" with the "V6" badge on it. Did find a Swiss brochure though!

I think I've probably got close enough for a "reveal" Jim!

Spotted one of these on Sunday as I went out on my otter expedition. It was Orange! (as you might expect). Did it come in any other colours I wonder?

Not from the factory but a black one with orange graphics was particularly striking, also seen white, pale blue - & a pink one.
