1996 Nissan Y60 Commando Single Cab Utility - Red - 238,187km - 4.2L Petrol Inline-6, Manual
Overview
The Nissan Y60 Commando represents a golden era of Japanese four-wheel-drive engineering, and this 1996 example is a genuine working utility that has earned every kilometre on its odometer. Built during the final years of the GQ generation, the Commando was Nissan's answer to the Toyota LandCruiser, offering robust mechanical simplicity, genuine off-road capability, and the kind of honest engineering that has made these vehicles cult classics among enthusiasts and working owners alike. This particular example is finished in red with a white canopy, presenting as a period-correct working vehicle with character and patina that speaks to a life well-lived.
The 4.2-litre naturally aspirated inline-6 petrol engine is the heart of this machine, paired with a manual transmission that puts the driver in complete control. The engine bay shows evidence of genuine use rather than cosmetic restoration, with a clean, functional layout and no signs of forced induction or complex modifications. The naturally aspirated configuration delivers reliable, predictable power delivery characteristic of Nissan's TB42E platform, with straightforward mechanical systems that are easy to maintain and repair. At 238,187 kilometres, this is a vehicle that has been driven and worked, not stored or pampered.
The single-cab configuration is the authentic working variant, offering maximum load space and genuine utility. The red metallic paint shows honest wear consistent with the vehicle's age and working history, with minor stone chipping visible on the bonnet leading edge and light surface oxidation on the chrome bumper trim. The white canopy is functional and intact, providing weather protection for cargo. The interior presents with period-correct cloth trim and manual controls throughout, reflecting the straightforward design philosophy of mid-1990s Japanese utility vehicles. This is a vehicle for buyers who value mechanical honesty and genuine four-wheel-drive heritage over modern conveniences.
