1988 Nissan Bluebird SLX review from UK and Ireland
"Not just a taxi!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew at 150k - uneconomic to repair.
General comments?
Very reliable - head gasket blowing was entirely my fault. I failed to notice the rad. fan wasn't working and she overheated. Good performance and economy, with an almost racing-car close gear change. Undeserving of it's 'old man' image!
