The C210, which was the fifth-generation Skyline, was launched in 1977. It was popular for its straight bodylines. The C211 was introduced in 1980 following a minor change. Three versions of 2000GT were available: Turbo GT-E (145PS), GT-E (125PS), and the GT (115PS). This 2000GT was donated by Teshima, who used it to drive right round Australia.
