Street Sighting ~ Nissan Bluebird

I sent author Nick a message teasing that my autism surrounding SA festival state U-plates is getting worse, I'm not even sure if it's a joke anymore. Nick & I both saw this Bluebird at the Waite campus but my photos are better so here it is. Yet another survivor.

In terms of speculation I'm going to guess this belongs to someone older whom works for Adelaide University but doesn't teach (researcher?). Gut feel, no evidence. The car is on standard rego, which was a surprise.

 

Some paint peeling off the rear bumper and a small ding on the front left quarter is the noticeable wear&tear. Quite a tidy car otherwise.

I'll always try to document the cars that were once regular traffic. The boring but curious survivors, because sooner or later they become endangered species. The (possibly but unlikely) endangered Bluebird had all the right bits to just be a car; makeshift dash mat, headlight protectors, aftermarket fog lights, rust protection sticker, venetians, and eighties manifold vacuum gauge for economy (sunnies n mag on the dash).
