NISSAN SKYLINE GTS SERIES 1

PRICE RANGE $6500 - $24,000

Yes I owned one and what a wrench it was when the time came to get something newer. A wonderfully efficient and understated car. Except for its big, attention-grabbing wheels, the all-white Skyline attracted minimal attention from other road users, at least until you drove around their BMW or V8-modded Jag and disappeared into the distance. Yes the chassis could have handled an extra 70kW but that wasn’t the point. The SVD Skyline was a sports sedan, not a brawny muscle car, built by the same folks that brought you Nissan’s controversial but effective Group A Touring Car contenders. The last time I saw GTS #88 (of the just 200 all-white Series 1 cars made) she was looking sad and neglected. I just hope someone cared enough to ensure she survived.
