Datsun Cherry 100a F11 ESTATE wheel nut

 

This is the only picture:

post-20295-0-65214500-1509587776_thumb.jpg

 

I understand there are no vehicles of this type currently registered with DVLA and after spending many many hours trying to find parts I'm gonna quit early from this reno project and hopefully sell the vehicle whole or start the donor process. whatever the demand is we'll see in due course.

for the purpose of this auction I'm selling a wheel nut, however if you have a specific interest please contact me through ebay messages and I will reply to all but don't loose patience with me as I'm currently selling my house and completing the new house to move in to all before Xmas.
The car; Is a find in a million, while searching for our next home I came across this little gem in a garage. It belonged to a lady who bought it from new and used it for shopping in the local town and for trips to the local garden center, the highlight of this little cars life was an annual trip to Scotland.
the vehicle has done 24,000 miles, has original documents and the last tax shows 1988 and as far as I can see it's complete. The lady parked the car in the garage 3 decades ago turned the ignition off, left the keys in and it never seen the light of day again up until recently when I bought it and transported it back to my workshop. To date i have not touched the car other than survey the structural integrity especially undercarriage which is unbelievably good condition as are the inner wings, however it does bare the trademark Datsun corrosion on the wings and sills. Study the photo's but I will take specifics on request. The only photo I have is from my iphone but I will take the camera down tomorrow and take lots more.
Well I hope someone is going be very happy, It would be nice to think the car will get restored by a real enthusiast so no chop shop merchants please as this is a real find for the right person.

You know that 'caught on camera' look a Conservative MP out of his nut on whizz has when a newspaper captures him with a small boy in the toilets at the annual hunt ball?

There's a couple of details I'd change, but otherwise, I like this.

I had one of these as my first car back in 1985, it was rotten then. I do know that you can fit a Renault 5 boutique front spoiler on them and it looks pretty good. I also fitted an Alfasud rear spoiler but I don't think that worked as well. The poor thing died when I met a brand new mk2 Cavalier cdi on a narrow lane, it put the front wheel through the floor it was so rotten and just scuffed the paint on the Cavalier.

It's an automatic, they're shit.

 

And if the autobox isn't broken now, I guarantee it will be in about 53 seconds.

I loves the '100% Japanese reliability' comment on the Ford Mazda...lol

 

And the wheel trims obviously need to get in the sea.

Only on one side, it has two oem ones.

Most misleading advert ever.

 

YOU ARE BIDDING ON A AS NEW 2.5DI ENGINE

WAS GOING TO FIT IN THE TRUCK IN PHOTOS BUT PUT A V6 IN FOR THE CUSTOMER INSTEAD AS YOU CAN SEE FROM PHOTOS

Ford Transit MK2

Kind of suggests that the advert is for an entire Transit. No mention in the title that it's just an engine, and even the lead photo is a photo of an entire Transit.

 

 

Verdict: bell-end.

Check out this poor fucker. Hope it's of use in parts for someone.

 

I've always wanted a little 104, and only bought her a few months ago, but I have now decided to have a major clearout of cars, parts and projects so she has to go

 

It's fucked.

That sounds suspiciously like something that would happen in My Summer Car. For those who don't know, the main car in the game is a Datsun Cherry just like that and it also features Cavaliers (well Vectras cos Finland). Are you sure you didn't grow up in the small Finnish town of Perajarvi?
