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 😊
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.
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. 😀👍👍
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!
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!!
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.
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.
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.
@@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 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.
Back in 2004 to 2007 I had a black one, my mate Chris had a white one and his dad had a blue one. It was so funny seeing all these weird little cars on his drive when I visited. Sadly Chris and Bram passed away during the floods in 2007 in Tewkesbury, trying to clear the rugby club basement from floodwater. I miss them both every day, seeing this brought tears.
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 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!
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 👏🏻👍🏻
Hi Matt, If only all car dealers would be so through in ensuring that vehicles purchased and run will be in good running condition !! Thanks for the upload good on you.
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 👍
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 👍
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.
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.
Great to see what is a proper classic Japanese car being saved from the scrapyard. With your donor cars there is no reason why this one can't be turned into a decent vehicle. Well done to Clive for getting in touch with you.
I admire your perseverance Matt. It’s a love affair with a quirky little known car that will attract interest when you take it out,park and attend shows
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 the founder member of the Nissan 100NX Appreciation Society 🙂 These are interesting little cars - you have done a good job restoring this example and I agree if you take it to car shows I reckon it will get a lot of attention - just be prepared for lots of questions from people when they see it!
What an absolute stonker of a hunny bunny! Always thought they were a bit of an ugly duckling back in the day, but when you look at todays mobile munters on offer, I now think it's a fabulous looking car. Most excellent vid Matt. Keep 'em coming. Facinating stuff.
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 🙏
Best vid ever Matt, love the old Nissan's I have a 89 pulsar n13 plus a parts car I'm having trouble obtaining a glovebox opener knob scarce as hens teeth here in Australia the one in my parts car is also broken I'll have to source one from the UK I think. Looking forward to more vids mate. Aussie Graham.
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
love the colour and thanks for saving another old car glad to hear u gunna keep it and whow no rust that is an added bonus cant wait to see it when u have finished doing "bby"up
Congrats on both the cobalt blue and white restored NXs. Scrapping the parts cars surely increases the desirability and rarity of the two that you own, doesn't it?! 👍
fantastic mate love these kind of stuff especially old stuff but what a transformation i’m sure once buffed painted polished it will look brand new these engines are brilliant great content ❤
I like this series of videos - good to see you keeping the older cars on the road. If you can get 2 good ones out of the 4, you are doing well. I would leave it like it is, nice patina.
Ten years time: "...welcome back. And I've just bought the last Nissan 100NX in the UK that I didn't already own." This series is going to go for a long time, and it's far more intetesting that I expected. Hope we'll have NX News bulletins amongst the "I bought a cheap..." in the future
The level of your dedication is just amazing! 🤩🥰 These snails were awful, I don't like them and seeing a whole generation of them living there sent shivers all over my back 😵💫 Can you imagine turning the air con on and some random snail/slug jumping out of it 😂
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
You should be contacting Nissan uk for a sponsorship at this rate.
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
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do more of those videos saving cheap old forgotten cars.
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.
Matt... good decision. That is a classic car and you’ve brought it back to life 👍. It’s an investment!
😂
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 😊

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
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!!

I actually like that, plus the wheels make it look better than the others. 3:25

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.

@@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.

I don't think you're mad. This video is simply evidence that you love cars. 👍
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.
It won't be long before Matt has more Nissan NX100 than Range Rover's
And, they will be more reliable!!

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.
Fantastic well worth the effort Matt 👌

Nice on the nissan you deserve the views👍🏻

I loved this video. A Fascinating journey from the hedge.
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👍👍
Brilliant Mat.

Great plan! Looking forward to hopefully seeing you showing this little sweetie off at some shows!
I saw the title and thought Matt has finally gone mad. Excellent video and another car saved.
You should get at least one of each colour it was made in.
💯 😂 sick of Matt taking the easy road 😅
Back on form this is the content I signed up for. Great video
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 👍🏼
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 👏🏻👍🏻
Hi Matt, If only all car dealers would be so through in ensuring that vehicles purchased and run will be in good running condition !! Thanks for the upload good on you.
Every single week, there is something interesting and fresh. Who saw a 100NX series coming? Apart from Matt maybe. Anyhow, keep them coming
Love stories as this.
Well played, Matt 👍

That was funny just after the history check! "You all think I've gone mad, don't you"? Erm..............No Matt!
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.
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….
Matt, soon to be the sole owner and member of the 100NX owners club 😆✊🏻. Great little motor looking forward to seeing the refurbished wheels.
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 🤔
There’s no stopping this man anymore.. he must own all 100NXs
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.
This is awesome Matt maybe you should contact Tim & Fuzz for your next talk show and use this car
The Nissan 100NX series is the series that just keeps giving!
Those wheels look much better than stock (which to me look a lot like plastic hubcaps on steel).
Great to see what is a proper classic Japanese car being saved from the scrapyard. With your donor cars there is no reason why this one can't be turned into a decent vehicle. Well done to Clive for getting in touch with you.
You have become the NX whisperer. “Is it blue? I’ll have it then”
Marvellous job you've done on that Matt - phoenix from the flames and all that!
Not many more left in the UK for you to collect. Restoration, yes very possible, but courageous as Sir Humphrey would say.
Luv your comment "I think its been preserved by the hedge"
I admire your perseverance Matt. It’s a love affair with a quirky little known car that will attract interest when you take it out,park and attend shows

Im not much of a Nissan 100nx person, but I would keep this blue one as well Matt. Good job btw :)

Heading to Festival of the Unexeptional next summer? - with the work you're planning it would be a star exhibit!!
love the colour and thanks for saving another old car glad to hear u gunna keep it and whow no rust that is an added bonus cant wait to see it when u have finished doing "bby"up

Don't park it on the street
Because ........
You may find it covered in "Police aware" tape

Matt , there is an arrow at the petrol gauge on the dash pointing left or right to tell you what side the petrol cap is on 👍 you probably know that .
What a great car well worth the spending money on nice to see the old cars coming back to life great job Matt
Matt, this is beginning to get a bit of an obsession now 😁
Another one saved, great job. And yes, Sluggie sure does get around, he’s keeps making an overnight Banksy on my block paved driveway 😂
Matt's solution for every old car, give it a good buff.
Great to see you keeping this car on the road.
Thats lovely beautiful car. Colour will be popping once it’s buffed ❤
Great job man! Fantastic that you decided to keep it for yourself. I really like that, you're a true car enthusiast!
Matt done a great job keeping those 100x's on the road shame Nissan dont make anything like them now
this man is gonna own every 100nx in the country i can already tell
