History:
The Nissan Laurel was introduced in 1968 as a mid-size luxury saloon designed to provide a higher-class alternative to the Skyline while being more compact than the larger Cedric. The 130 series, launched in 1970, carried a distinctive boxy yet refined appearance that reflected the styling trends of the era. Equipped with inline-four and six-cylinder engines, it delivered both performance and comfort, appealing to middle and upper-class buyers in Japan. The Laurel gained popularity not only as a family saloon but also as a base for motorsport and customisation, with many becoming part of the Kaido Racer scene in later years. Today, the 130 Laurel is celebrated as a classic piece of Japanese automotive heritage, admired for its clean design and role in shaping Nissan’s reputation for producing stylish, reliable executive cars.
