The Mitsuoka Le-Seyde was a limited produced car, based on the Nissan Silvia S13. Only 500 units were made, and Mitsuoka claims that all were sold within four days after they went on sale.[1]
The Le-Seyde resembles the Zimmer Golden Spirit.
Dore
Pronounced (DURA), is a convertible version of the Le-Seyde. It was also a limited production model, produced in July 1991.[1][2]
The Dore was based on a Ford Mustang.[3] It also used the Mustang's 302 in3 (4.9 L) V8 Engine.
New Le-Seyde
The New Le-Seyde was introduced in late 2000; it is identical to the original Le-Seyde, with only a few minor cosmetic changes, but this model was based on the Nissan Silvia S15.[1]
Its engine was also from the Nissan Silvia S15, the SR20DE.
