1999 Nissan Silvia (S15) — Black Metallic

141,400 km is the number to start with on this Silvia, a February 1999 S15 in black metallic. That's a fair amount of road for a car of this age, and it also means the driveline has been through the kind of use that either shakes out problems or doesn't.

Repair history: Yes (minor).

Under the bonnet is the SR20DET, the 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four at 2000cc, paired with a manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. Two doors, right-hand drive, petrol.

February 1999 registration puts this among the first S15s built, since the model went on sale in Japan at the start of that year. Black metallic was one of the launch colours. Between the early build date, the mileage, and the minor repair note, I'd ask for close photos of the panel gaps and the underside before forming a view on how straight the shell is.
