Temptation: Honey Bee!

What is it about these?  The rumor inside Nissan is that there was an order problem and they had too many base B210s, so someone came up with a catchy decal package “special edition” to try to move them more quickly.  Whatever happened, the result was just plain cool in a humble, B210 way.


These come up periodically, but are usually in pretty rough shape.  This one looks like it just needs upholstery and a few minor things, assuming it’s as good as the seller claims.  Your humble host has always wanted one and this one’s not far away at all.

Drool away…

These instrument clusters are pretty cool, though not as sporty as the 200SX from the same period.

Could use a little clean-up, but looks serviceable under the hood.
