Dear All, Please can someone give me some advice as this is the only site I can find where people know what they are talking about in regards to the Datsun/Nissan! My grandad had a 1981 Bluebird which I have now acquired, it is in VERY good condition with MOT and TAX and only 1 owner being my grandad.. 43,000 miles on clock and garaged all its life. I am only using it as my own car has recently died of death and needed a vehicle but I am concerned I am using a classic car and would appreciate any input as to its value before run it into the ground!! I cant find ANY for sale ANYWHERE on the net and really would apprreciate advice.
Many thanks!

Yo, congratulations on the new car, very very nice and
sounds like a minter. If you try to look after it, it will be so easy to keep it in the condition it is in now. Here is what I would do now: Check underneath for any rust, sort everything out so you have a solid car again. It might be solid, you never know but it will be good to check. Service it ever 4/5/6,000 miles with good oil. What engine does it have? Post some pictures of it, I'm sure someone on here knows more about them than I do, but do check for rust and do service it and there will be no way you'll run it into the ground 
Enjoy the forums, John. -------------

Hi john,
thanks for your reply.... its pretty much rust free as been garaged all its life. I will promise to get it serviced but am not sure I want to hang on to it PURELY as I have a young family and we need a holiday car to do mileage etc and this probably ISNT the car to do it in.... It deserves a better home and keeper if you ask me ;) I just need to figure out what sort of value I should be asking for it as I dont want to give it away :) !! I dont suppose you could point me in a direction of how I would find this out? I have looked EVERYWHERE on net for one for sale and cant find a single thing :( |
