That looks ace for the money. Shame it's not MOT'd though.

 

It's not far from me either...

Think you might have time to go and look at it for me?  Just in case I suddenly found some cash down the back of the sofa, you know... ;)

I'm sure that could be done! No idea how we'd get it up to you though without MOT? Unless you just pre book an MOT and go for it?

I 'might' be able to store it for a little while too, since there's a space on the drive as my Capri is away being rebuilt.

It looks pretty minging inside tbh but other than that appears ok in the pics. It's up to you...

Someone on my course at uni had a tuned 9000. Pulling nearly 400bhp. Absolutely mentally insane. Required a massive steering wheel fight when he floored it, to keep it going in a straight line.

It had done 240k when he started fiddling with it. By 255k he lost 3rd. By 258k he lost 2nd. Pretty much on the dot at 260k the gearbox died.

20k miles on a 240k mile gearbox with double the normal hp I would call that a win...

Logistics is something we could look at later.  What concerns me more is, would it be viable for someone with no time/space to take on a project?  A trusted pair of eyes going over it would be very helpful.

As for the interior, I've had worse.  Much worse!

nice, i'm sure this was big derek's car, 

$_57.JPG

if so, then it is up for sale again, and with another £1000 put on the asking price....

$_57.JPG

it certainly looks like dereks, and if it is, then i can tell you that it is as immaculate as it looks. in fact it is probably better than it was when new.

Is it just me... or does anyone else cringe if the seller can't even spell the name of the car correctly

Looks good, but the seller's been quite honest with photos and it's a shame the rot is starting to get into it. It would be interesting to see the rear inner arches, easily visible inside the boot. They can go quite drastically (I had one in '92 that needed a lot of plating there).

Another Sunny that came up from looking at that red B11:

 

$_57.JPG

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1992-Nissan-SUNNY-LX-Manual-Estate/231887130545

 

I reckon these would be pretty handy, with a properly square rear end - none of your lifestyle estate stuff here. Pretty nippy too, I'd imagine.

 

Edit: There's an outside chance it was on Nissan's press fleet when new. Some other cars with K5..ABL plates were in magazines. Or it could just be a pre-registered thing....

I think that has the same weird electronic carb with catalytic converter setup that mine had, it really strangled that nice twin cam 1.6.
