Nissan Silvia CSP311

The original Silvia was a low-volume specialty coupe hand-assembled by Yamaha, featuring graceful lines inspired by European gran turismos. Each car required extensive hand-finishing and paint work, limiting production and ensuring exclusivity. Its shared mechanicals with the Fairlady roadster provided proven reliability, while the closed coupe body offered weather protection and refinement. The CSP311's rarity and elegant design make it one of the most collectible classic Nissans, commanding premium prices at auction when examples appear.
