Overview

The Nissan Silvia S13 remains one of the most iconic cars to emerge from Japan’s golden era of performance engineering. Known for its lightweight chassis, rear wheel drive balance and turbocharged power, the Silvia quickly became a favourite among enthusiasts, tuners and motorsport drivers. Today the S13 is regarded as a true JDM legend and continues to rise in popularity as surviving examples become increasingly rare.

The car is listed with a Grade R auction rating, meaning it has previously undergone repair or modification work and buyers should carefully review the notes before bidding.
