Models that came in Super Clear Red

Listed for these models in Japanese catalogue colour listings. Not every colour was offered for every year or trim.

Other Nissan models outside our model library used AN0 too.

Has a AN0 car been resprayed?

  1. Find the model plate and read the code. On the model plate (the “caution plate”) in the engine bay, usually on the bulkhead, next to COLOR. Some later models put a sticker on the driver’s door pillar instead. If it says AN0, the car left the factory in Super Clear Red.
  2. Check the V5C. For Super Clear Red it should say RED or MAROON. Add the paint code to our free check and we’ll compare it with the DVLA record for you.
  3. Check the auction sheet. It should describe the car as red and usually prints the code. A sheet that says one colour with a code for another means the car was painted before it was sold in Japan. Our auction sheet translator flags that.
  4. Look for the old colour where a respray rarely reaches: the engine bay, door shuts, inside the boot lid and fuel flap, and under rubber seals.
