It’s #ThrowbackThursday and the Herald went back in time to 29 May 1987 to see what was in the news.

In this edition of the Herald, Randfontein Nissan advertised the Nissan Skyline as the most perfect car ever made. The Herald visited Randwest Nissan to find out why this car was so popular back in the day.

According to Christiaan Kemp, Parts Executive at Randwest Nissan, it was all about the horsepower.

“I’m proud to say that to this day, the Nissan Skyline still lives up to it’s name,” he said.
