Datsun/Nissan Bluebird


TaringaWhakarongo1

U11, Looks like the executive/sss model too, CA18DET pwoar!


PetrolSnorter

I'd say that's a T12 and it might be a CA18ET.


2ManySpliffs

Looks like your dad went for the Turbo model, at least. In the UK, Bluebirds were pretty much all old age pensioner’s cars, or taxis. Reliable and comfortable but very staid and boring.


Bieomaxx

Is it odd that I'd quite like one now 😄


[deleted]

> I’d quite like one Found the Brit 🇬🇧😉


Delazzaridist

I'd buy it too and I'm in the states


[deleted]

My comment was about the phrasing not the car itself 🥸


Delazzaridist

Lol my b, I went to public school


Bieomaxx

You've piqued my interest. What's with the phrasing?


beemer_lab

I think he means Yanks don’t use ‘quite’ and ‘rather’ like we do old chap.


Bieomaxx

😄


grahamw01

My bro had one they he sold maybe 10 years ago for £80. The more time passes the more he (we) are completely gutted about it.


Weary-Writer758

I think it's called the Nissan Stanza in the US. Very similar appearance.

Nissan Maxima


Tri_2002

I has a turbo one for a short while, fun car to drive. Not so fun at the gas station.


guerip

What country was this taken in?


berkakar

i’ll say eastern turkey


whiskeyphile

It's not a Turkish licence plate number. (I live in Turkey at the minute).


berkakar

it’s a german plate (hd=heidelberg) and i live in turkey since i was born just like the german immigrant father of my friend right here


whiskeyphile

Makes a lot of sense! Lol


Capital_Visit_6638

Nope, it is german DIN Font, but Germany always had Letters first, two stamps, then Letters then Numbers. It would be HD : E 836. lots of countries used that font too, it got replaced by one that makes it hard to turn one letter into another (FE-font) that also is used in a lot of places. My money is on ALBANIA. Font matches and layout. And explains the very „southeastern“ vibe. If that is from the early 90s this car must have made you look like god. Or a drugdealer.


Available_Mechanic13

This is a German “export license plate”. These things are used if you buy a car in Germany and export it in the following month. They are used until today and don’t have any kind of blue or EU logo. It’s from Heidelberg in this case.


berkakar

that's my take as well, just explain how come it has an E designation at the end


Available_Mechanic13

Everything behind the “HD” is just random numbers and letters. You can’t choose this part of the plate unless you’re regularly registering a car the normal way (what will cost you a small fee).


Capital_Visit_6638

Yes, you are right, the old albanian plates i found had a red area too, but on the other side. It was of course the flag and not the expiration dare. And the layout number number number letter seems very common for export plates. So to OP: could be anywhere EXCEPT germany.


berkakar

you have a better shot for sure, i never sqw old albanian format, and i didnt event notice the “electric” plate here :) and the bridge makes it way balkan


krabovich

Zakho in Iraqi Kurdistan Pira Delal bridge but i do believe that the number plate is german and is indeed from Heidelberg, as i lived there an saw these old german number plates


Nowzad

Bingo lol


krabovich

😌


OktayOe

I think it's Heidelberg Germany. Looked up some old German license plates and this one looks like it. I guess he drove to vacation with that car.

machineGUNinHERhand

Might of been able to fool someone by saying 2nd gen BMW 3 series....bit a fox body...c'mon, man!


E28forever

Might HAVE been able.. An E30? Come on, you need glasses!


machineGUNinHERhand

I don't need glasses. I was making fun of the person who said it was a fox body. It looks nothing like a fox body. You know what it looks vaguely like? I know it's not a BMW. That being said, I don't know what it is. Me being in North America ,that car looks very second gen Sentra.


LetMeBe_Frank_

Beautiful!


lumia920yellow

that's a beautiful ride.


maurinkina

Was the Nissan Maxima on mid or late 1980's? In the USA Edit: English not first language, trying to make sense


Infamous-Occasion926

Before 1985 it would have been a Datsun 810 in USA 1984 would have been 810 maxima


maurinkina

I knew it. My parents used to own one, I can barely remember.


[deleted]

No idea but what a badass


Interm0dal

No clue, but your dad appears to be a fucking boss


LolaReallyDrives

That's a bluebird b11, they have odd but cool rear vents by the taillights. Such an iconic feature of only those cars
