The Nissan 300C Owners Club was launched at The Japanese Auto Extravaganza, Billing, Northamptonshire on the weekend of 26th to 27th July 2003.
The purpose of setting up a club specifically for the Nissan 300C was to ensure that the few still registered with the DVLA remained operational and on the road. The club was set up to provide information, support and the access to spare parts.
On January 2006, following a ballot of all club members, the club decided to welcome all Cedric models including; 230, 330 & 430 series (200C, 240C, 260C & 280C), and the newer models Y31, Y32 and Y33 series (The 300C being the Y30 series).
The club is a non -profit making venture and is for the benefit of Nissan 300C and Cedric derivatives owners. The club also attends many classic car show events throughout the year, giving members an opportunity to meet and show their cars. These events will also advertise the club, thus increase membership.
The annual fee for membership is GBP15.00 (for non-UK members GBP18.00), for this members will receive a BI-annual newsletter, membership chip, a discount of 10% on new parts from a Nissan main dealer, access to other members for information and support. Opportunities to attend Classic Car shows free and display their own car. They will also receive extras such as key rings and calendars. The club also offers merchandise for sale such as Polo or Sweat shirts etc.
The Nissan 300C Owners Club will never be huge in terms of members due to the dwindling numbers of this model, but the membership is slowly increasing and we hope the club to be huge in support whilst keeping it friendly and approachable.
