Symon's Spanish csp311 restoration I think got nearly finished, and got sold to the seller of this other Silvia I posted, a good few years ago;

CSP311 colour update....after being immersed in all things CSP since I got mine, I think there was 3 standard colours during the cars general release, how they came about I am unsure, though I think they weren't available all from the Silvia launch. There is a green;

and a more gold;

These two are distinct, different colours.
and the white that has been posted on this thread before. As mentioned, light, fade etc makes it look like a few different shades. Though only one colour code for the Silvia gold paint. I would doubt Nissan would list two different colours under the same code, or swap from one colour to another it was the top of the Nissan range car at the time... Still digging into this....
UK welcome....with a slight difference...

this one is such a nice one and it seems to be known as it shows up in multiple places...
I could only imagine how much fun it would be with a strong running motor. I love the irony of the Datsun that has a Nissan badged U20 and a Nissan Silvia with a Datsun badged R16 haha
so the red one from this thread was nearly completed and sold, but no new pics?! bummer

No Symons old Silvia was white, as far as I know, the red one from the Ebay listing is still for sale. I will see if I can dig out some pics when i saw Symons car.
Strong running motor, that is what I am planning for mine
