Whilst the world's governments were frantically preparing for the impending doom of the which many "Computerists" proclaimed would see the world thrown back into the dark ages at the stroke of midnight at the dawn of the new millenium, Nissan were busy building their famed 4 door saloon.
1999 seems like such a long time ago now, but this pristine looks just as fresh today as it did over 25 years ago when it first rolled out of Nissan's factory in Sunderland.
You could easily be forgiven for thinking this time capsule of a car from the photographs taken by our team in our Bush Tyres Scunthorpe depot was brand new but you'd be wrong.
During the 1999 BTCC (British Touring Car Championship) season, Laurent Aïello and David Leslie won 19 out of the 26 races held that year to cement the Nissan Primera GT into history.
According to data from , there are less than 100 Nissan Primera GT's on the UK's roads. That makes this an exceptionally rare car. So what was this car doing in our Scunthorpe depot?
Well the owner had entrusted our technicians to perform a full 4 wheel alignment on their pride and joy.
By using sophisticated computerised measuring equipment, the team were able to measure the alignment of each wheel, and then adjust the camber, caster, and toe settings of each individual wheel to bring the alignment back to Nissan's original factory specification.
We don't expect this car to rack up thousands of miles, but at least from now on when it is taken out for a drive, the handling, fuel economy and tyre lifespan will all be maximised thanks to the optimised alignment settings from our skilled .
