Tomica Thursday - Nissan Skyline 2000GT

What I have here are the 3 last cars I bought in 2015 and they have just arrived today. It may not be as famous as the latter Skylines, but it is a beauty nevertheless. It is the c210 released in the late-70’s/early 80’s. The stock white is the “mainline”, 1977 non-turbo release. The yellow police one is the GT-E, and is a part of some special series. And lastly the white one with “C211-1759...no idea, but it still looks cool.

Coincidentally, I was going through my baby photos last night and scanning them into digital form, and I came across one photo where I was probably about 9 months, just sitting on top of a beige-coloured Skyline. I asked my parents whose car that was, but they have no recollection (it wasn’t theirs as they were driving a Mazda 808 (remember those?).

So the fun news is that I got to sit “on” a Skyline when I was a toddler but the sad news is, I have not been in or on one since.

Anyway, here are some happy snaps...
