My experience of my 1986 T12 2.0 would be as follows
Pros:
Incredibly comfy seats and good ride
Excellent visibility, easy to park
Lots of interior and boot space
Has never broken down, feels like it will go on forever
Rust resistant and easy to work on
Very smooth engine and strong cold start. Barely feels like it has a carb at all
Cons:
Fuel economy
Not remotely quick or sporty, but never claims to be
I'd highly recommend one, and it's a shame that they're rather unloved and unwanted, as I've found when trying to sell mine.

We just got the odd U12 as a grey import, I have a photo of a black hardtop which I think is still around. Have seen a mid '90s Bluebird of some sort too, not a particularly attractive car however. A couple of recently acquired photos taken on press events or similar:  1989 Nissan Bluebird 2.0GSXi 4dr (T72) press photo by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr  1987 Nissan Bluebird Turbo ZX 4dr (T72) press photo by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr A couple which I've had the pleasure of owning:  Nissan Bluebird 1.8GS auto (T72) by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr  1987 Nissan Bluebird 2.0SLX 4dr (T72) by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr The 3dr ZX which I actually saw in Suffolk:  1986 Nissan Bluebird ZX Turbo 3dr (T12) by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr  1986 Nissan Bluebird ZX Turbo 3dr! (T12) by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Ad for Silver Knight bodykit:  Nissan Bluebird Silver Knight bodykit (1987) by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr I think various kits were available through the dealers too. I rate these highly, my two were excellent as daily drivers and if I was in the need of transport they would be on my list of stuff to look out for. A GSXi or Executive with the CA20E engine would be perfect. |

JAE 2006 There will probably never be so many T12 & T72 Bluebirds 2.0 and 1.8 Turbos in one place ever again  |
