Nissan Looking for Gen 1 Patrol
Posted: Thu Sep 05, 2019 1:06 pmFYI
Got this through a company news bulletin at work yesterday. Nissan is on the search for a 1st gen Patrol, 1951-1960, for the Heritage Museum in Zama, Japan.
The "not so good" part of this, is, they want it donated to the museum. I don't have details as to what condition vehicle they are expecting to receive. Don't know if they are going to do a restoration on it, or if they are looking for one in decent shape that they can just park in the museum. I was there back in ~2009, and I don't recall seeing anything that wasn't in a daily driver or better condition.
Just throwing this out there, because I'm not sure I would donate mine if I had one.
They are also looking for 1st generation Micra/March (1982-1992), which isn't sold in the states, and the Auster/Bluebird (1985 to 1990).
