- 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

Don't tell my wife but I've had my wheel trims in the dishwasher.
Mums the word 😁👍
What a great idea! 😂
No good for me as she would have to eat them.
Hahaha LOL 😆
I just love this K11. Keep it for a future classic!
I absolutely plan to do so 😁
Nice ... shes a keeper Jon 👌
Cheers mate 💪
Loving the Micra K11 content! That one definitely looks like one you should keep, as long as you can get it in a garage for storage. Would be good to see a video on your three K11s together.
Hi Chris. Many thanks - glad you are enjoying it. Ive certainly decided to keep this one and its now in a garage safe :) - now the Red one is out and about i will get all three next to each other soon
Just watching from a very warm and sunny Pembrokeshire today, not my normal grey and rainy Cheshire, good to see you getting on with the Micra Jon.😮
Thanks Paul. Glad to hear summer has reached you 😁
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
Handy to know! Cheers 👍
That js such a lovely micra Jon and is clear Pete loves it too still think he should find room in the garage! It’s come up really well and must be one of the best ones out there!
Cheers Daniel :)
She’ll pass the MOT no problem 😀 Glad you decided to keep it, you’d never find another like it.
I hope so too
Why do we love the underdog cars? These K11s are great, as are the Proton Iswaras and for me the Skoda Favorit and Felicias are up there too.😍
Good question! I love the underappreciated survivor ☺️👍
Good question! I don't know but I do love the underappreciated survivors ☺️👍
Had four Micra's a K10 and two K11's and a K12. wish I had kept the K10 and the K11's.
Brilliant 👍
Superb car, taking it to shows sound like a plan, means hundreds of people can appreciate the gleaming newness
😊👍
I check my car before I take and have never needed to spend 100s to pass as its che checked often and parts replaced it avoids a huge bill
Absolutely 😁
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.
They are brilliant little things but as you say the rot is sadly killing them :(
What a nice car 😃
I love it
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??? 😀
🙂 working towards clearing a garage space for it
Good luck with the MOT. Here's to another clean one!
That’s one great K11
Cheers Dave 😁
So glad that you’re keeping it. Brilliant.
Me too! More to come 😀
Your dad really needs to buy this Micra off you. He seems to really love it and it'll be something to put away in the garage and take to shows.
Oh if he wanted it he could just have it!
He’ll be putting his Micra love into the recommissioning of another one soon on the channel…. this is the standard to aspire to !
the legend smashed it jon,nice to see the micra inspector,they told me on mot for my k11they said corrosion underneath but just waxoil it or lanaguard and it is sound
Absolutely brilliant 😊👍
I always give my cars a pre MOT check regardless!
Good idea on my book ☺️👍
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. 😊
Thanks for the info! ☺️ Great tip
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….
I absolutely love that name! Margaret it is
oh no! i notice a scratch on the panel above the n/s rear wheel :(
Might be muck :) - she's not absolutely perfect but I will be going over it with a mop and polish ☺️
Glad you are going to keep it, but could you keep it covered and off the grass ?
That's the plan!
@@JonCoupland 👍
This cr is up there with Black Knight.
😮 you reckon?
Great cars, get that thing full of wax! You want clear Bilt Hamber to maintain the existing finish.
Got some ordered 😆
Did they ever do a diesel k11 I’ve got a strange feeling they used the 1.5 diesel out of the 106 in them
Ooh good question. I absolutely don't know
Have I missed a video on your first Micra that's being revived?
Not yet 😊 it's coming. I've sadly been so so busy with my day job and the naff weather that sadly we haven't pulled it out the garage yet. I absolutely promise it's coming soon though
@@JonCoupland No worries at all. I genuinely thought I had missed one. Keep up the good work.
Good grief dad should have that car. He’s smitten.
He's absolutely welcome to it :)
What was the Date Stamp on the Tyres?
I can't remember the exact date stamp but they were the original ones 🤣
WD40 - Liquid love lol
☺️
@@JonCoupland oh when ur dad did the electrics check and said hooter you never tried it lol
Puts my K11 to shame
Ah this one is super nice - it's great to hear that you are still keeping yours going
