Mitsuoka Motors is a small Japanese automobile company that builds modern Japanese cars to resemble classic designs. The Le Seyde was made in limited numbers in 1991, the first series of 500 sold in no time at all and so another few were built to order by 1996. Based on a Nissan Silvia S13 chassis that has been extravagantly re-bodied, the Le Seyde's inspiration is taken from 1930s car design or perhaps the American made Zimmer Golden Spirit, another low production flourish of automotive design.
Today, if you wish to be seen in something different, and with just 500 of the initial series made, this car offers the distinctive styling resembling that of a movie character car. This example is powered by the Nissan C18DE 1.8-liter DOHC inline-four engine, which is rated at 131 hp and sent to the wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. Many parts and mechanicals are carried over from the Nissan Silvia S13 and the Brown interior is standard for that model. It displays c.110,248km (c.68,500 miles) with little mileage since imported in 2011. It's an incredibly distinct car with its long rakish bonnet and chrome adornments. This Le Seyde offers the ownership of a piece of what was offered on the Japanese domestic market (JDM). This example comes with paperwork reflecting import, V5C, and an MOT up to December 2022.
