Happy to be corrected but, I'm sure Matt said there were four on the road. This one was cernd. The other one was off the road too. Who has the other two and should they be interviewed for the channel?
So now Matt takes on Jonny in Barn Find videos, car wars!! And just after he's bought a £100k top spec Range Rover, its 30year old Nissans out of a hedge that gets Matt really excited. Take the RR back 😊
I said last time that you would become Mr Nissan 100 NX Man and that has been proved right. Nice job and I can understand your enthusiasm for the car and keeping it to take to car shows. Await the next update on it from you. 😀👍👍
Name change of the show to High Peak Nissan NX? I think it is brilliantly funny that the scrap yard is next to your mechanics. There's an energy saving tip for anyone setting up either a scrapyard or a mechanics workshop - find that other neighbour. Soon, Nissan might be onto you looking for a car for their museum. Maybe not, as they are not that flush at the moment. Have fun with the car blending.
Hmm, restores an old car and starts taking it to car shows. . . A year or two down the line I can see Matt driving an immaculate pre-war Armstrong Siddeley, or perhaps a Lagonda, and enjoying every minute of it.
Nearby where I go to work on Monday’s there is a white 100NX and it always makes me smile. Such a gorgeous little thing and great to see them taken into care. Hope you can keep restoring these in future!!
@@mrlister2000 and if recent news reports are anything to go by the 20+ year old Nissan worth, (after Matt has restored it) a few grand, will be more secure than his latest 100K? Range Rover. (my apologies to Matt)
I only learnt several years ago, after over 20 years of driving, that the petrol pump icon on the dash slows you which side the flap is. If the nozzle is on the right of the pump icon, your flap is on the right, and vice versa.
My wife had one of these, same colour and year, second hand. It was an amazing drive, pretty.much bullet proof and one of her favourite cars ever. I didn't even know there were any still around!
When I first saw the car, I thought I would hear Matt say, a nice wash and nice plates will brighten this car up 🤣♥ I am glad it has been saved and back on the road. The Valeter loved the car added bonus. I have not seen the Wonder Grip van in a while, has it moved on to a new home? Looking forward to the next videos on the other 2 and what you do with them.
I never 'tire' of seeing you 'acquire' 100NX's sank in a 'mire' a road of neglect and tangled 'briar' all shall be well because you're a 'tryer'! BBY is a survivor, a keeper - You've rescued it!
1st service was done 3 yrs before registration. I think under the stickers the number plates will be dan perkins nissan aka dan dan the nissan man if so they are original for the car!! . History sadly is As genuine as Katie prices mother of the year award!!
Definitely not a Cornwall car. BY at end of the registration number suggests it started life in London and would have been likely to have been a Dan Perkins supplied car. As you rightly state he became Dan Dan the Nissan Man, having previously been Dan Dan the Datsun Man!
The current plates might be original? they have the larger pre-2001 font, it would look wrong with post-2001 smaller font. I'd recommend keeping the current plates (but remove the stickers), or fit period correct pre-2001 style plates.
And relax 😉 back to saving lovely old motors! I love all of your content but I personally love it when you save a used and abused car and breathe new life into it 👏🏻👍🏻
I had the same bug with Bluebirds, had 7 at one point. Always hated seeing them getting scrapped after they were pilfered for parts. The vehicle check showed the chassis as B13 so the Sunny part of the MOT description makes sense as the B13 followed from the B12 Sunny Coupe and probably shared the same chassis. (I had 2 B12s too at one point, great cars) Great video, and this is a series I am following with much interest
I can totally see why these cars slipped under the radar and haven't had a revival like other cars of the 90s but at the same time I see the appeal and they are cool. The revival starts here! I'm so glad you've saved these cars, they are totally worthy of the effort and it's fantastic to know they'll be out and about on the road for many more years.
I saw one parked in a driveway in a Highland village and I had not seen one in maybe two decades. I remember seeing them in mags in the early 90s. Quite a nice looking thing
You are a star. 90's Japanese cars are so interesting and just so good, I have a '91 Honda Aerodeck that I've owned since 1998. Maybe we'll meet at a car show in the future! Rustival and the Festival of the Unexceptional beckon surely.
Ahhh...a double garage in the next village! Well on the way to that barn you're going to need (want) 😊. Great stories these, and it was a treat to know BBY was originally from Cornwall. Nicely done Clive. These Nissan 100NX stories would make a riveting childrens book 😉. Thank you so much for your efforts with these videos 🙏
I remember seeing a white one of these in a scrapyard in the late 90s, at which point it seemed quite a new car to be there. So it's great to see you bringing some of these cars back to life all this time later. I've always liked the look and slight eccentricity of the 100NX. Thank you!
I can just see the new signs going up outside the High peaks showroom. "High Peaks Nissan". Quality rare historic cars. It started by accident, but became the 100NX European headquarters
The heater control with the little button is the same that was fitted to the K11 nissan Micra limited edition inspiration you either got a sunroof or Aircon and the Reg on that that I once had was a T reg so maybe the Aircon parts would be the same great to see you saving the cars 👍
I am not sure what is more awesome that you have manage to collect 4 out of them and restore the two or that you actually keeping one of them. Absolutely amazing and inspiring. Thanks Mat
The music playing when having it washed took me back to playing Gran Turismo & where you periodically washed & serviced the cars for an extra 10-15 hp 😂 I wasn't sure on the looks to start with but its grown on me 👍
Matt, love that you have saved it. Do check the rear suspension turrets are ok. Just pullback the carpet in the boot. You don't want to be driving along g and for the turret to split and have a crash. Message me if you need any photos of where to look.
A big thumbs up from me, replacing the rear screen, wouldn't it have been easier to take the complete hatchback off the donor and then just changed the lock over, again raid the donor for all you need, l'd keep some of the more rare bits off it like the roof panels, interior trims, dashboard and clocks etc, but great car and video, look forward to seeing it after Jimmy the magician has worked his magic and the wheel refurb
Thanks Matt, overjoyed to see it back on the road, with a long future ahead. Clive
Thanks Clive. I appreciate it. All the best
I never thought a mini-series on a lukewarm Japanese fastback could be as compelling as it's turning out to be!
Well done Clive, Kudos
The man will not stop until he reaches 100% ownership 😂
World domination,,,😂
Happy to be corrected but, I'm sure Matt said there were four on the road.
This one was cernd.
The other one was off the road too.
Who has the other two and should they be interviewed for the channel?
Imagine who would join the NX100 owners' club. And who would be the club president? 😅
I actually own a nx in the uk too 👏🏼
@@Sh4rkyOfcl MATT,MATT, YOU NEED TO SEE THIS !
Lol
I see the new sign "High Peak Autos NX Specialist" going up real soon
And used parts warehouse too! 😅
Theres still Red, Black,Grey and Glacier blue to go Matt
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You should be contacting Nissan uk for a sponsorship at this rate.
Do more of those videos saving cheap old forgotten cars.
Matt... good decision. That is a classic car and you’ve brought it back to life 👍. It’s an investment!
😂
Festival Of The Unexceptional is definitely the ideal destination for this once all completed
I think that too. I've never seen a car like this before.
So now Matt takes on Jonny in Barn Find videos, car wars!! And just after he's bought a £100k top spec Range Rover, its 30year old Nissans out of a hedge that gets Matt really excited. Take the RR back 😊
Is jonny going to be on carchat?

Love to see Matt’s range. He can be as passionate about a free Nissan NX as a Mercedes AMG gt. This is a true petrolhead
Such a vibe, love the energy in this vid!
Restore one Matt, and enjoy the project.
Hmm, restores an old car and starts taking it to car shows. . . A year or two down the line I can see Matt driving an immaculate pre-war Armstrong Siddeley, or perhaps a Lagonda, and enjoying every minute of it.
@@davidwelch6796 I saw a Lagonda last week in Newark, I’ve never see one in the flesh so I had to get a photo. (1976-90 version)
How about trying to get an Alvis or an Allard🙂
@@kabukidreamboy Equally good choices.
Nearby where I go to work on Monday’s there is a white 100NX and it always makes me smile. Such a gorgeous little thing and great to see them taken into care. Hope you can keep restoring these in future!!
nice one matt for saving these 100nx's, these were rare back in the 90's, so ultra rare now.
Rare?? I hear there's 4 knocking about in Stockport!!
@@danpaul4975 haha 🤣
It won't be long before Matt has more Nissan NX100 than Range Rover's
And, they will be more reliable!!
@@mrlister2000 and if recent news reports are anything to go by the 20+ year old Nissan worth, (after Matt has restored it) a few grand, will be more secure than his latest 100K? Range Rover. (my apologies to Matt)
I don't think you're mad. This video is simply evidence that you love cars. 👍
Just watching this and taking in the news - RIP Sven - a gentleman and I am sure Matt will agree - part of the resurrection story of the Blues.
I only learnt several years ago, after over 20 years of driving, that the petrol pump icon on the dash slows you which side the flap is. If the nozzle is on the right of the pump icon, your flap is on the right, and vice versa.
I never knew that, thanks for the info.

When you said it had 12 months of MOT with no advisory items I uttered a 'what!?' out loud. I did not see that one coming.
I actually like that, plus the wheels make it look better than the others. 3:25
I loved this video. A Fascinating journey from the hedge.
I never 'tire' of seeing you 'acquire' 100NX's sank in a 'mire' a road of neglect and tangled 'briar' all shall be well because you're a 'tryer'! BBY is a survivor, a keeper - You've rescued it!
Fantastic well worth the effort Matt 👌
Every single week, there is something interesting and fresh. Who saw a 100NX series coming? Apart from Matt maybe. Anyhow, keep them coming
You have become the NX whisperer. “Is it blue? I’ll have it then”
You should get at least one of each colour it was made in.
💯 😂 sick of Matt taking the easy road 😅

Brilliant Mat.
These old-90's car videos, are THE BEST !
Well done Matt. Optimism (with just a hint of obsession) has found you. Life's good isn't it when you get really into something.
Nice on the nissan you deserve the views👍🏻
Love how these cars of all are what Matt's ended up collecting
Nice car, and very generous of Clive he could have scrapped if for a couple of hundred quid, 26:44 a small ripple in the door worth getting fixed👍👍
Great plan! Looking forward to hopefully seeing you showing this little sweetie off at some shows!
That was funny just after the history check! "You all think I've gone mad, don't you"? Erm..............No Matt!
Love this video - I find your channel a welcome sanctuary from the grim politics we are living through. keep up the great work
And relax 😉 back to saving lovely old motors! I love all of your content but I personally love it when you save a used and abused car and breathe new life into it 👏🏻👍🏻
Love stories as this.
Well played, Matt 👍
That car-wash guy really is a gem, with his positive attitude.
I had the same bug with Bluebirds, had 7 at one point. Always hated seeing them getting scrapped after they were pilfered for parts.

Great video, and this is a series I am following with much interest
I love the 100NX, so easy to drive and that targa roof is a real bonus
Love NX’s’s glad you revived this one!
Remember super unleaded in these they probably won’t like the E10 unleaded 🤔
Awesome rescue of this 100NX & will be worth every penny. I hope you're putting in SUPER unleaded E5 in this, as the newer E10 rubbish wil destroy it.
There’s a 100nx round the corner from me . Looks like it’s been parked there a while probably needs a lot of work it’s blue
I think a knock at the door on behalf of Matt is required….
Thats lovely beautiful car. Colour will be popping once it’s buffed ❤
If i was French....id be delighted
Definitely one to keep, I love oddments you don’t see every day, I don’t think they were common mid 90’s let alone nowadays. Top job Matt 👍🏼
NX man…😉…… well saved….. I think most of us on here would applaud your efforts in saving the brand and model.😎👌🏽
I can totally see why these cars slipped under the radar and haven't had a revival like other cars of the 90s but at the same time I see the appeal and they are cool. The revival starts here! I'm so glad you've saved these cars, they are totally worthy of the effort and it's fantastic to know they'll be out and about on the road for many more years.
I'm so glad he is still saving the 100NXs and cruising an l322
I saw one parked in a driveway in a Highland village and I had not seen one in maybe two decades. I remember seeing them in mags in the early 90s. Quite a nice looking thing
Fantastic, brilliant to see another saved. Little cars with style n character 😊
You can never haver too many Nissan 100nx’s . . .
. . . apparently 🤣
You are a star. 90's Japanese cars are so interesting and just so good, I have a '91 Honda Aerodeck that I've owned since 1998. Maybe we'll meet at a car show in the future! Rustival and the Festival of the Unexceptional beckon surely.
I wish I had only a quarter of your optimism! "Needs a buff and new plates" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Matt looking at the Titanic crumbling at the bottom of the Atlantic "I don't want to count my chickens, but I think I can do something with that".
😂😂😂
This is going to be such a memorable era of the channel for us viewers😂. The hunt for every remaining 100NX. One video at a time.
Great content as usual , channel really is one of the best car channels on TH-cam and needs more subs 👏🏻
Thanks!
Loving this series, as a lot of people are - can’t beat an underdog being brought back from the brink - great job Matt 👌🏻
Back on form this is the content I signed up for. Great video
Ahhh...a double garage in the next village! Well on the way to that barn you're going to need (want) 😊. Great stories these, and it was a treat to know BBY was originally from Cornwall. Nicely done Clive. These Nissan 100NX stories would make a riveting childrens book 😉. Thank you so much for your efforts with these videos 🙏
These used to be rare, but theres at least 4 in Stockport alone!
😂
There’s no stopping this man anymore.. he must own all 100NXs
I remember seeing a white one of these in a scrapyard in the late 90s, at which point it seemed quite a new car to be there. So it's great to see you bringing some of these cars back to life all this time later. I've always liked the look and slight eccentricity of the 100NX. Thank you!
great project - keep vehicles like these on the road - a forgotten classic
I can just see the new signs going up outside the High peaks showroom. "High Peaks Nissan". Quality rare historic cars. It started by accident, but became the 100NX European headquarters
Love these projects. Looking forward to seeing it after all the work is done. Regarding the snails and the happy Frenchman ….. 😂👍
My first thought on seeing it was
Don't park it on the street
Because ........
You may find it covered in "Police aware" tape
The heater control with the little button is the same that was fitted to the K11 nissan Micra limited edition inspiration you either got a sunroof or Aircon and the Reg on that that I once had was a T reg so maybe the Aircon parts would be the same great to see you saving the cars 👍
Mat your getting obsessed with these car's 😂😂😂
I am not sure what is more awesome that you have manage to collect 4 out of them and restore the two or that you actually keeping one of them.
Absolutely amazing and inspiring.
Thanks Mat
Matt, soon to be the sole owner and member of the 100NX owners club 😆✊🏻. Great little motor looking forward to seeing the refurbished wheels.
The music playing when having it washed took me back to playing Gran Turismo & where you periodically washed & serviced the cars for an extra 10-15 hp 😂 I wasn't sure on the looks to start with but its grown on me 👍
Those wheels look much better than stock (which to me look a lot like plastic hubcaps on steel).
Great job man! Fantastic that you decided to keep it for yourself. I really like that, you're a true car enthusiast!
I like the idea of keeping as an interesting going to shows/meets car. 👍
Matt, love that you have saved it. Do check the rear suspension turrets are ok. Just pullback the carpet in the boot. You don't want to be driving along g and for the turret to split and have a crash. Message me if you need any photos of where to look.
I saw the title and thought Matt has finally gone mad. Excellent video and another car saved.
Matt well done
.
Tune in next week when Matt buys an nx, this is like freaky Friday 😂😂😂
Not many more left in the UK for you to collect. Restoration, yes very possible, but courageous as Sir Humphrey would say.
Great save 🙏 I was pleasantly surprised after seeing it stuck in the hedge 😂
I was disappointed you failed to say the immortal words, 'a good buff will bring the bodywork back'; great vid Matt 👍
A big thumbs up
from me, replacing the rear screen, wouldn't it have been easier to take the complete hatchback off the donor and then just changed the lock over, again raid the donor for all you need, l'd keep some of the more rare bits off it like the roof panels, interior trims, dashboard and clocks etc, but great car and video, look forward to seeing it after Jimmy the magician has worked his magic and the wheel refurb
I did think about that but the tailgate on the donor is quite rusty
Two grand for a useable modern classic is an absolute steal. Can't wait to see it finished.
One of the few occasions when I thought the aftermarket wheels looked better than the originals
I liked the bigger wheels it came to you with. Good series though this Matt, great work 😂
22:07 Oh he is cooking 😂
Matt, this is beginning to get a bit of an obsession now 😁
Nice one Matt, another one saved.
Loving these NX videos Matt, they’re a lovely little car, and as you say unusual and ideal for car shows. Glad you’re keeping it 😊
Brilliant stuff lovely little Nissan with air con AIR CON 😮. Loving the car wash montage 😂
Great to see you keeping this car on the road.
Looking forward to the next chapter in this car's transformation. Great video Matt!
Good job on a mighty little car!
Marvellous job you've done on that Matt - phoenix from the flames and all that!
