1996 Nissan Silvia (S14) — Black

Black paint on an S14 hides a lot or reveals a lot, depending on the light, and the condition notes on this one start with the part that matters. Repair history: Yes. The seller declared it, the listing carries it, and it should be read as a repaired car rather than a clean-sheet one.

The odometer reading was not recorded, which happens more often on older Silvias than buyers expect, and we'd rather leave the figure blank than guess at it. First registration was July 1996. It's a two-door coupe, right-hand drive, running gasoline through the SR20DET, a turbocharged 2.0-litre inline-four, with power going to the rear wheels via a manual gearbox. 2000cc on the paperwork.

That is the entire documented spec. A mid-nineties S14 with a manual and a turbo SR is the base a great many drift builds started from, and this black example fits that description without any additional claims attached to it.
