Say Hello To Ally The Almera :P

[Felly Magic]

Well as you may have gathered, I've gone Japo-whyaye, so it's time for some photos of it, taken about half an hour ago. The flippin thing is fully loaded with toys, including 4 airbags!!!! The more I look at this car, the more of a bargain it feels, yeah, it's far from perfect, but it's been well maintained, and the infamous crossmember has been done. There are a couple of rust spots on the bootlid, and one on the wing, plus a minor parking ding has pushed the ns front wing in a tiny bit, but otherwise I find it hard to fault

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and CURRY HOOK!!!!!!!!

The dash-mounted CD changer is novel. I've never seen such a thing before

Grim-looking plastics, but certainly well equipped! Stay on top of the rust and it should serve you pretty well.

[HH-R]

Looks like a winner.

 

"AUTO METAL", does it play Metallica on every start?

[captain_70s]

A mate had one of these, he went through 5 gearboxes in a single year. Although I think that was more down to his driving than a problem with the car as it had it's original gearbox at 60,000+ miles when he first got it!

[Lacquer Peel]

I think the gearboxes are a weakness, my grandparents' one munched a gearbox.

[MarvinsMom]

that car looks even better in the metal than it sounded on paper.

 

there was one of those daft hooks on the dash of the k12 micra I owned, I could never work out quiet what it was for, and now I know!!

 

x-reg, so whats that, 2000?

 

does that mean its cheapish car tax, ££140 or there abouts for the year? (and not subject to the OMGCO2's bumrape?)

 

top buyage, sir!

[Felly Magic]

It's in the pre bum rape road tax, its an early 2001 example, going to be so nice commuting in something quiet and comfy

[barefoot]

I had one as a courtesy car a few years ago and quite liked it.

It was brisk and reasonably quiet and comfortable.

You iz winnar, but where canI get a curry hook from?

Volvo did a 3 disc changer and Ford did a 6 disc one IIRC.

I like how the middle rear seatbelt buckle retracts into the headliner and stays in place via a magnet, its a pretty well thought out car
