There you go. :)

His comment is:

I've been to see that little turbo micra in Leeds .
It's a nice looking car from the outside but it all goes wrong on the inside , maybe it's my age but no interior , carpets, dash , heater, etc.....
Not for me !
Engine spluttering , noisy , bumpy, very harsh ride ! Yeh it's defo my age talking .
I've asked him if he would break it and he said that I should buy it and break it myself . But not at that price .
Maybe around the £1100 mark I would !

Looo, l I forget to add more info.

I spoken to the owner (present) before so he bought it like this. He didn't do anything on this car. Previous owner who build this project so he rebuild this engine all the time. I think his name is James.

Anyway, I asked him (present owner) if he drive this car alot so he don't drive alot. I knew there was something with this engine. I told him to be honest with me so he asked me to come to Leeds to check it out. I can't cos I am from Surrey which is toooo far from me.

He think I am serious buyer so I asked him about the price. He asked for £1700. He said if I am more serious then he reduce the price down. Maybe at around £1500 or under. Btw he is not a big fan of Micras so he don't know everything about Micras. That is why he get bored so he want to sell this micra. Previous owner asked him to give this car back so he said no. He want to sell to other people who are big fan of Micras.

I know there is something wrong with this engine. If you want to know more about engine then ask. @Salzam100

At least, someone need to save this micra shell. :)

Yeh I've seen this little motor a few months back and it's a very nice looking car to be fair ,
But and it's a big but, it wasn't running very well , spluttering , stalling , no interior , dash , carpets , etc..... Which made it sound very loud .
Very harsh ride , too harsh for me with knocks and bangs from the suspension .
I'm getting on a little and it's a long way from what I would want it to be , but a project for someone I'm sure but not at that money .
For me the car needs a full interior putting back in with dash and door cards and carpets , standard headlights , standard rear lights , exhuast routing to the back of the car like it should be on a road car thus making it a lot more quieter to drive , and the biggest thing is to sort out the running issue but how long is this piece of string ?
My opinion is if you are interested in this car then have a look for yourself and don't buy without viewing it !
 
That means .... To those that have not grasped what I'm saying ,GO AND VIEW IT thoroughly !
@£1100/1200 it's worth breaking and using the shell for a n/a build but I don't think he will let it go at that .
 
Not good enough Jen.... now go and find me a white K11 bonnet and tailgate in Norfolk for under £50.....go on....


...oh, and a sub-50k CGA3 too.... yep.

Are they not all closed deck? Can you tell visually from the outside if it is closed deck?

1 of mine was auto iirc matt, and open deck
and head-off job eh (unless there are any external casting marks)
i have spare cranks and blocks if you want to make a hybrid ? :)
 
These would be perfect for improving your engine sound....

Ah ok thanks. May take you up on that offer at somepoint, the closed deck blocks are the same as open deck for parts etc....?

yes interchangeable matt, another member had a CG13 block overbored for 72.5mm corsa pistons, so overboring a closed deck block for 72mm CGA3 pistons should,nt be a problem eh :)
and incidentally i have sourced some half links for our chains ;) so a 3mm headskim on a CGA3, (with a nice taught chain) is feasible now
 
He's not even stated delivery cost....oh...yeah...£45...

I'm not in hurry to get one...I can wait until something comes up locally...and cheapy cheap (probably end up buying a whole car)

It's a sun visor, it fits to the front of your roof to help protect you from the blazing British sun, like a sun strip would, if there were any sun ^_^
They were quite popular in the 1950's ;)

It fits to the boot above the rear window. Says rear sun visor on title :)
