HMC- AUTOSHITE 2.0

Thinning the fleet out here. I’m literally changing my username to Björn hence this must go.

 

Be ready for the post apocalyptic world by buying this which I guarantee* will still be there and drivable under the rubble of your house. Dig it out, first turn of the key and you’ll be off to start a rebel uprising.

 

1996 Micra 1.0 3-door petrol manual in red

 

Great runner, drives nicely. Mot to end Feb 2019.

 

New tyres all round. Utterly basic. No pas, no abs no airbag, nowt. Except (aftermarket) parkingsensors which seem OTT as it’s such a doddle to chuck about and park. So much fun to be had Just driving it. Lovely clutch and gearchange, I can see why they were so popular as a first set of wheels. Generally Clean tidy interior and good stereo (a period early 2000s alpine cassette stereo if you wanted to buy an overpriced stereo but get a whole car for free) Heater works but the fan doesnt. Some parking scuffs and age related marks (such as a lot of lacquer peel- see pics mainly roof and bonnet. I took one of the front end with the car mainly dry to show how tired the paint on the bonnet is ) Slight click on full lock from One front corner- suspect worn cv joint? Rustwise seems pretty good, the back end of the outer sill has been welded but the rest of the floors and sills and wheelarches are very good and I’ve cleaned out and dynaxed the rear inner arches as they were very well preserved despite not having arch liners on these and I wanted them To stay that way. If you look on the MOT history it’s been giffer owned since 2005, hardly covered any miles sine then which has saved it from where most have gone. Comes with approx half a tank of fuel.post-4673-0-53767800-1537622366_thumb.jpegpost-4673-0-47291400-1537622380_thumb.jpegpost-4673-0-05604100-1537622399_thumb.jpegpost-4673-0-53676100-1537622416_thumb.jpegpost-4673-0-06197800-1537622441_thumb.jpegpost-4673-0-46273500-1537622458_thumb.jpegpost-4673-0-51901200-1537622508_thumb.jpeg

Agreed. Very characteristic. With the bare steel wheels, unassisted (and better for it- it’s certainly never heavy on the standard 155s) and bare bones spec it’s basic transport that has more in common with a 1970s supermini than a 2018 Micra. (Are they still a thing?)

I respect hugely devotees of a single marque, even a single car. Deep down I’d love to be that person. “Owned for 48 years by xyz....” I just know that’s not me. In fact I’m the opposite of that. I’m not saying that’s good, but there it is.
