  • Pre-MOT Checks On This K11 Micra Turned Into Concours Preparation Of This Timewarp Car?
    Around a year ago I took ownership of this lovely K11 Nissan Micra
    Same owner since 2003 - covering only 23,000 miles from new.
    It really is a time warp and a testament to its former owner, Greta.
    In this video Dad and I give the car a once over ready for a Pre MOT - This in turn ...Turned Into Concours Preparation

    I would not use WD 40 on the hinges and locks because WD 40 has some cleaning properties. Thus removing the original grease front the lock and hinges mechanism .
    use grease
    which would be much better

    We used to have a 1997 orange K11 and we got rid of it in 2010 due to a dangerous amount of rust. Was a very good car when it worked and it handled snow surprisingly well.

    Lovely thing this👍🏻 My tip; get a soft brush and a bit of APC in a cup and squidge those arches with it. Then rinse it off while brushing. This should get them squeaky clean. 😊

    Would suggest that it's a keeper, Jon, given the condition/mileage, the ownership history, it being a close relative to your first car, and the obvious affection your dad has for it. Only problem is that it probably ought to be garaged to keep it as it is. Do you have the undercover space for it??? 😀

    I think the car should be called “Margaret the Micra”…. it’s a nice “old lady” name and a certain “Iron Lady” called Margaret liked the colour Blue !
    I expected the original tyres to be a Dunlop… for a while they were basically a Japanese brand and there was a Dunlop factory in the North East of England close to the Nissan plant….
