Great little cars. Had one for 15 years without any trouble at all. It never needed anything as it never went wrong. Just regular servicing and consumables. Mine had air conditioning. That air con was ice cold for the 15 years I had it. Just so reliable. These cars sit so well on the road. Stable as anything. Good video, thank you.

I have owned two Nissan K11 Micras... They are an absolute GEM of a car

The dynamics of these Micras were fantastic. They had the nicest gearchange, great steering in PAS and manual form, well laid out dash, good buuld quality and the twin cam 16v 1.0 made the Ford and Vauxhall equivalents look ferociously outdated. One of the best super minis of all time. Oh and the early 1.3 Super S was incredible fun. Booked at 75bhp but they were clearly a good bit more. Would love a go in one of those again! Great purchase there, John.

Glad you enjoyed it

I have owned two K11 Nissan Micras (Back in the day) I am NOT joking ..These cars are superb... Hardly surprising these were voted Car of the Year 1993... My only little gripe the 1.0 Litre engine was a tad underpowered. Other than that these are superb little cars... Nissan Micra K11 = Diamond

What a beautiful little Micra, you are one jammie git Mr C! Colour is A1 as is condition. I'd keep that for Sunday runs and for summer shows, just enjoy it. I'd love one but due to spinal problems from a rear ending years ago I'd be better with CVT and they are even more rare than the hens tooth you have found. Nice Proton would be in my sights too.

@@JonCoupland Oh yeah just looking at it now, think that was the first item I watched when I subbed on the channel! 🤭😂

Owned two K11 Micra's in my time both 1 litre and good for 80mph in third which is impressive. Smooth ride and no rattles or bangs and not a noisy engine far from it, fuel economy was excellent on a long run I achieved 52mpg short runs around 40-42mpg. They were over engineered you would have a tough time breaking the engine on one of these, I had a K10 which did 176000 miles when I did a part Ex, dealer could not believe the mileage and the only thing that let it down was a very worn drivers seat. I could go on, needless to say you cannot better these. Great video.

Thanks for the comment I am a genuine advocate for the K11 for similar reasons you have mentioned Thanks for your support on the channel ☺️

A rather nice clean example, but all that jazz for nothing special. Hopefully you enjoy driving it times to times rather than keeping it under a "carcoon".

Wow gorgeous colour!!

Yes it's a lovely colour

I have such a soft spot for the K11 my first car was a S reg 1.3 SI K11 loved that little car, my god it body work was battered but the engine was solid. I still miss that little car

Remember my former father in law had a K10 for donkies years - bought new and kept until it was frayed net curtains but it was loved. In the village where I live there are 3 or 4 K11's still doing the rounds with owners/drivers of a predictable age. Son tells me they are becoming sought after now though as they are peppy cheap to run and insurable for twenty somethings

Favourites of this video "Dragon Nostrils!" also did anyone else feel the pain when the mark on the roof was discovered? It did feel like there might be tears behind the camera. Here's hoping you talk about Mrs Jon Coupland the way you talk about that Micra!

Wow lovely looking car, Love the body colour too, I have done some work on a December 1999 "W" reg, quick under body clean up, and detailing that you or other might like to see, (on my channel) that car is a silver Automatic, K11 1.0cc Profile model, and has the problem you pointed out with the screen rubber trims shrinking, (Anyone know where a new one and the center trim clip can be bought from?), also the front screen, side one on the O/S "A" post has shrunk a bit too!, it has after market wheel trims on it I think, and usual repair plates on rear of sills, and two on front cross member, in it's life, but otherwise a very clean tidy one, (not as good as yours, but owner is looking to get it back to perfect, so looking for new parts as mentioned above. and also a new rear roof mounted ariel rubber boot, as original has shrunk and cracked with age. so let me know if there is a classic car parts stockist of genuine new old stock Nissan parts, (I am into Classic Ford Cortina's so only know ford parts guys. thanks. and it was not too long a video, with a car this good as yours it could never be to long to look at it she is beautiful.

To all K11 owners, what is special about the car? I have a 2001 5 door 1L, and I love the old school feeling of the car, the engine sound while driving and the handling.

Just a quickie question when was the first shape Micra ! It was a much square shape than the K11

Nice Micra

Hi, how long did you have the red 'OMO' Micra? I ask because that car belonged to my neighbour in west Lancashire in the late 90's until around 2004. Couldn't believe it when you said the reg! Her name was Mrs Marriot, an elderly lady.
