1998 Nissan Patrol 2.8 TD6 GR (Y61) – 100% Original
This is a truly rare find — a 1998 Nissan Patrol (Y61) for Sale – 100% original with only 131000 km from new, one owner, and great condition throughout. Bought new from Amazon Cyprus and owned by the same meticulous keeper since day one, this Patrol has led a gentle life and has never been modified, abused, or taken off-road. Vehicles like this simply don’t come up often, especially in this untouched, authentic state.
Finished in its factory two-tone olive-green and champagne metallic, the car presents beautifully with only minor cosmetic marks (see gallery), consistent with its age. The paintwork is entirely original, retaining the factory finish and even its subtle period gloss. All exterior trim, bumpers, and badges remain in place — uncut, unpainted, and unmolested. The chrome front grille and TD6 Intercooler badging gleam with originality, while the original 16-inch Nissan alloy spare is still wrapped in Pirelli Scorpion S/T tyre. All four wheels benefit from a new set of All-Terrains so that the new owner can concur any surface.
Step inside and you’re greeted by a cabin that perfectly captures late-90s Nissan. The interior is completely stock — the factory-fitted grey leather upholstery, wood-grain trim accents, and roof console with temperature and compass readouts are all still present. The seats remain firm and supportive, showing minimal wear, and all switchgear operates as it should. The front seats have always been covered and the leather underneath is in great shape. Even the original stereo and air-conditioning system are intact and fully functional. Everything feels solid, authentic, and exactly as Nissan intended when this Patrol left the showroom nearly three decades ago.
Under the bonnet lies Nissan’s 2.8-litre TD6 turbo-diesel engine, paired with a manual gearbox and full-time 4WD with low range and rear Diff-Lock. While not the most powerful engine in the Patrol range, it is known for its durability and smooth torque delivery, making it an ideal candidate for reliable everyday use or long-distance adventure touring. More importantly, this drivetrain is completely untouched — still in its factory specification, with all services performed on time. The car starts easily, idles smoothly, and drives exactly as it should, with no smoke, noises, or warning lights.

This Patrol was never used for off-roading, which makes it an exceptional survivor. Even though the underbody display mild oxidation typical for a vehicle of this age, no structural corrosion is visible and showing no evidence of impacts, or heavy wear. The chassis, suspension, and drivetrain components remain in original condition, unmodified and not lifted — a rarity in today’s market, where most Patrols have long been converted into heavy off-road rigs.
Despite its excellent preservation, a few minor imperfections can be noted. The front bumper shows light surface wear and faint scuffing around the lower edges. The rear bumper has small marks near the tow hook area, and the spare wheel cover shows light aging and a scratch can be seen on the rear right fender. The interior door trims, while clean and well-preserved, exhibit light creasing consistent with age. Overall, these imperfections are purely cosmetic and do not detract from the Patrol’s original and well-maintained presentation.
With its bulletproof reliability, legendary build quality, and honest originality, this Patrol offers two equally appealing paths: Either preserve it as a collector-grade survivor, one of the very few remaining stock examples of the Y61 generation, or use it as a pristine base for a custom build – whether that means a modern overlanding setup, a weekend adventure rig, or a tasteful restomod.
Either way, this car represents a unique opportunity to own a genuine piece of Nissan’s 4×4 heritage — a vehicle that defined the golden era of off-road motoring with its mechanical simplicity and toughness.
This Patrol combines authenticity, low mileage, and careful ownership into one of the most honest examples you’ll find anywhere in Cyprus. Whether you’re a collector seeking originality or an enthusiast looking for the perfect foundation to build upon, this Y61 stands as a benchmark for what a true, unspoiled Patrol should be.
