barmatt Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Anybody fancy the Ex Station Nippa that I won. Anyhoo, I took it for an mot this morning and all is spot on apart from one mismatched tyre which I'll get sorted by Wednesday at the latest. The tester was very complimentary about it and said he'd buy the car off me if I was selling but I thought I'd offer it up here first. For those of you not familiar with the little beauty, here ya go... Vehicle detailsVehicle make PERODUADate of first registration November 1999Year of manufacture 1999Cylinder capacity (cc) 847 ccCO₂Emissions Not availableFuel type PETROLExport marker NoVehicle status Tax not dueVehicle colour BLACKVehicle type approval Not availableWheelplan 2 AXLE RIGID BODYPics robbed off the roffle thread It's a fun little thing to drive and can keep up with traffic quite easily and it uses next to no fuel but if you've got long legs 5th gear means your left leg is between the steering wheel and gear stick. It'll have a full ticket by midweek and is taxed to get ya home. Adding up what it's cost me comes to £200 and I wouldn't mind getting that back or if there's enough interest I'll roffle it at £3.50 a ticket but it struggled to sell out last time. Located in Wells next the Sea, Norfolk but I could meet at either Kings Lynn or Norwich stations if you don't fancy a day at the seaside.

(Not including greasy snack costs) Oh and if you do come down from Granadaland can I request a couple of Hollands meat and potato pies please? eddyramrod and strangeangel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbottomley Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I sorted the gearstick out on my old Move, but heating it up and bending it so i could get 5th gear without having to dislocate my knee.... great mod unless you have passengers , then 2nd gear is a bit "ohh matron" barmatt, Jim Bell, Rusty_Rocket and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Not at all, Max: it's a bright sunny morning, I'm cold-sober and I would also take at least three tickets. And I don't even like small cars! Ghosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barmatt Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Managed to get a new tyre to replace the mismatched one today so I've dropped it off at the garage for the retest, prob tomorrow. So this is now officially for sale with 12 months ticket and no advisories for the princely sum of £200. I'd rather avoid a roffle at the mo' due to recent forum issues but if no buyer comes forward soon and the forum seems stable then we may do it in a week or so. Cue the stampede* of potential buyers.... strangeangel and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I will be very surprised if it can't find a buyer at your price, but if it doesn't put me down for two tickets please. barmatt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 erm, a "mismatched" tyre is now an MOT fail ??? really ? is there now a stipulation that they must have matching tread per each axle, or what, can anyone clarify, please !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By mismatched I meant different size, basically on the front axle it had a 145/80/12 on one side and a 145/70/12 on the other, so it failed on that. I didn't realise what a pain it would be to find a 12" tyre until I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Here's why you should buy a Nippa. This was the cheapest car you could buy new in 1999, it's not going to be brilliant. I wonder how true that is today. Nippa vs Sandero Access? dollywobbler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandamonium Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Was great to meet you Matt.It's funny, my uncle decided to take the car on the basis of a review he found on YouTube. .. Can you guess who's review he watched? Yep, our very own dollywobbler! I've not heard from him yet, hoping he made it back to London OK.
