1976 Nissan Cherry FII Coupe

The F10 was launched in September 1974. This particular vehicle was the highest grade model, a works car based on the GX Twin (with SU twin-carb engine). It was used in photo shoots for the Yellow Cherry catalog. However, because Nissan retired from racing, it has never been in an actual competition, only being driven by Masahiro Hasemi in a demo run for Race de Nippon 1976 in Tsukuba.
