The Nissan Silvia CSP311 made its public debut in 1964.
Powered by the 96 hp 1.6 L Nissan R series engine.
The engine was equipped with twin SU carburetors.
Production ceased in 1968 after a mere 554 were made,
every one unique with hand-formed body panels.
The low production numbers and tedious method of construction
assured each car was unique and valuable.
