1978 Nissan Caravan Van E20 VPE20 - Engine Starts, Runs

This is a 1978 Nissan Caravan Van (E20 chassis, model code VPE20), powered by a 2.0L gasoline engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. Right-hand drive, 4-door body with 6-passenger seating, finished in white. Mileage is unknown and unverified. The vehicle has no current Japanese inspection (shaken), no maintenance records, and accident history is unclear; it has passed through multiple owners and is being sold as-is. The seller states the engine starts without issue (see included video), but brake performance is poor, so the vehicle should not be driven away under its own power - pickup must be arranged via flatbed truck. The body shows rust, rust-through holes, dents, scratches, and areas of body filler; buyers are directed to review photos and video for details. Included documents are a temporary deregistration certificate, transfer certificate, and recycling ticket. Note the vehicle cannot be registered in Japan's NOx/PM emissions control areas. Notable factory/aftermarket equipment is minimal - no air conditioning, power steering, power windows, airbags, ABS, or navigation - though the vehicle has a lowered suspension.
