Financing a Bluebird 910

Values in this period vary sharply by model and by condition. Corrosion and unrecorded restoration are the usual reasons a valuation comes back lower than the asking price.

The Bluebird 910 was built 1979 to 1986 in Japan and is recorded with a 1.6 l l16s i4; 1.8 l l18s i4; 1.8 l l18t i4; 1.6 l z16s i4; 1.8 l z18e i4; 1.8 l z18et i4; 2.0 l z20s i4; 2.0 l z20e i4; 2.0 l l20b i4; 2.0 l ca20s i4; 2.0 l ld20 diesel i4 , styled by Isao Sono (1976). Those details matter to a lender only insofar as they support a valuation: what is being funded is a specific car with a specific history, not a model line.

A company usually takes hire purchase or lease purchase on a car like this. A certified high net worth buyer borrows under the exemption. An owner who already has the Bluebird 910 in the garage can raise money against it instead. In each case the lender wants an independent valuation, evidence of condition and a clear view of how the borrowing is repaid.

Questions

Can my company buy a Datsun Bluebird 910 on finance?

Yes. A limited company or LLP can buy on hire purchase or lease purchase, with the agreement in the company name. It is not regulated consumer credit, whatever the amount. How the car is treated for tax depends on how the business uses it, so speak to your accountant.

Is a Bluebird 910 too old to finance?

Age on its own is rarely the obstacle. Specialist lenders assess the car, its provenance and an independent valuation rather than applying a cut-off year, so a 1979 to 1986 car can often be financed, subject to status and lender criteria.

Can I raise money against a Bluebird 910 I already own?

Often, yes, and the car normally stays with you. The lender takes security over it, and how much can be raised depends on the valuation and on how readily that model sells. We arrange this for companies and for certified high net worth owners.

I want a Bluebird 910 for personal use. Can you help?

That would be regulated consumer credit, which requires FCA authorisation we do not hold. Send the enquiry anyway: it is handled through one of our regulated partners, and we tell you which firm before anyone contacts you.
