NISSAN MITSUOKA GALUE II (2003) Royal transport for Huib
We regularly go on the hunt for cool classic or vintage cars, and thankfully, that hunt isn't prohibited anywhere yet; what we've come across is a truly unique find. Perhaps even the only one currently in Europe, and yet found on Dutch soil. Is it a mechanical masterpiece from the past? A Rolls-Royce or a Bentley? In any case, it's a captivating car that effortlessly evokes a touch of envy.
What's so special about this?
What's particularly striking is that there are virtually no examples of this car on the road in Europe. A car with modern Nissan technology, wrapped in a distinctly retro look. The English influence in the bodywork is clearly evident. We're naturally captivated by the enthusiasm the car evokes and eager to delve into the story behind it.
Driver's car
Huib: "Small manufacturers use existing models to create their own creations. Mitsuoka is a prime example. They build series of cars based on common Japanese models, which in turn resemble German or American luxury cars. The styling is unique; it gives a classic look. The finish, both exterior and interior, is pure craftsmanship. This 'driver's car' was built in 2003 and has only 135.000 km on the odometer. This enchanting car is like new, inside and out."
Mitsuoka Motor
Mitsuoka stands for craftsmanship, luxury, and elegance; a brand that builds timeless classics with soul and passion. At the same time, it's surprisingly forward-looking. In the design world, it was predicted early on that smart production technology would increasingly enable manufacturers to create personalized cars. Mitsuoka is living proof of this.
Passion aroused?
If you're interested, it's worth mentioning the options: ABS, air conditioning, alloy wheels, central locking, climate control, power windows, ESP, PAS (steering assist), seatbelt pretensioners, and airbags. In short: modern technology in a nostalgic package. It could easily become a passionate object of love, because the car is for sale; a personal and rare piece of machinery. And for those who really want to know all the details: Huib is happy to tell the story (agbtrade@outlook.com).

It's a shame there aren't any photos of the interior included. Which Nissan is this Mitsuoka based on? Maybe the X-Trail or something?
I find it funny to see, not to have. Especially because the image of the front and butt doesn't match the side 😅.
Have a nice day!
handy for the Prussian, such an H-license plate
With that nose you expect a completely different side view.
From the side it looks more like a Cuttlas or Bitter or something.
And get that square truck plate off the nose. 😁
Special, and I'll leave it at that…
The Japanese have considerably more taste for building retro models than the Europeans.
The European retro models are a bad mix of modern and classic enthusiasts.
The Chinese can also do something with their electric interpretation of the Beetle (photo)
