I thought it looked a bit like a Nissan /Datsuns Bluebird


But probably wrong 🤪
That was my thoughts too. At least something from that era.

Correct era, and the right part of the world. It's actually an early Hyundai Stellar, which I've tried to keep as a sleeper.

With the early ones being Cortina based, I was able to use a 2.3 Cortina axle with the 3.09:1 Capri diff, so running gear fairly straightforward. Engine was a little tighter though...

TBH it's not all that impressive to look at - I've deliberately not bothered to go for a big chrome air filter, or 'dress up' the engine in any way.

In fact I'm even sad enough to have painted the filter housing the same shade of grey as the original!
