“When I first entered the Nissan Gallery, I felt an unprecedented excitement. It's like traveling through time,” Branko Westra begins his story. The Nissan Gallery in Yokohama is a place where history and vision for the future come together, a source of inspiration for every car enthusiast.
Early Sparks of Passion
“I still remember how it all started; that first ride in a Datsun Sunny on my uncle's property. That was the spark,” says Branko with a nostalgic look. This early experience laid the foundation for his lifelong passion for Nissan. “And when my father bought that Nissan Bluebird, I knew for sure: this brand is something special.”
Fate Types An Email
“Thinking about Japan during that weekend, I couldn't have imagined that I would actually be heading that way shortly afterwards. Fate sent me an email, literally,” laughs Branko, thinking back to the moment everything changed. This business trip not only marked a professional highlight, but also gave him the opportunity to realize his dream: experiencing Nissan up close in the Nissan Gallery.
Impressed by Classics and Icons in the Nissan Gallery
“Walking in the Nissan Gallery among the iconic models, from the radiant 300 ZX to the cool Datsun 240 Z, I felt a deep connection. Each of these cars tells a unique story,” says Branko, clearly impressed. He describes how these models are more than just machines; they are monuments of innovation and design.
The Timeless Appeal of the Figaro
“The Nissan Figaro represents Nissan's unique approach to automotive design. 'Back to the Future' in the true sense of the word,” he notes, not hiding his admiration for the combination of retro design with modern technology. This car, while a product of its time, embodies a timeless appeal that appeals to car enthusiasts of all generations.
Discoveries Beyond the Known Horizon in the Nissan Gallery
“The exhibition went further than I expected. Models such as the Serena MPV and the Kei cars Roox and Sakura, which are less known in Europe, opened my eyes to Nissan's versatility,” says Branko, sharing his experiences. It is this diversity that positions Nissan not only as a brand of the past, but also of the future.
Car Fun: A Shared Experience
“At the end of my visit to the Nissan Gallery I realized that car pleasure is something you share. The photos I took are my way of sharing this unique experience with you,” this enthusiast concludes his story. His journey to the Nissan Gallery is more than a personal milestone; it is an invitation to everyone to join in the celebration of Nissan's rich history and promising future.
