Yes, can't argue with that. I guess I overestimated the number of Micra fans who, like me, would like a 1.4 Sport, especially such a nice one. Having owned a few 1.0 versions I've been impressed with the performance difference of the 1.4 but perhaps the higher insurance premium tips it the...

I confess I'm a little surprised it hasn't sold. Had a few silly offers which I couldn't accept but I've now reduced it to £695.

Thanks Muji, I've put it in the K11 Sales section here now so lets see how it goes.

***CAR NOW SOLD*** Micra K11 3-door 1.4 Sport+ in gleaming black. Low mileage at 61000 mls. Very nice condition. Long MoT to May 2017. PAS, remote central locking, stereo CD, electric windows, alloys with excellent tyres, new exhaust just fitted. Tilt/slide factory sunroof but it sometimes drips...

Cornwall......ouch indeed.! No takers yet though, just a couple of chancers wanting me to let it go for peanuts. Still, I'm in no rush yet. It can stay on my drive for a while longer.

I'm in two minds so I may just put it on ebay and see how it goes. If it reached £800 I'd be OK with that. Otherwise I'd probably revert to plan A and find somewhere to keep it. Unfortunately my garage is stacked to the ceiling with boxes ready for the house move. I'm near Grimsby, NE Lincs...

Oh well, it now looks like Black Beauty will be saddled with a new owner very soon. My lack of space due to our imminent house move means I'll have to sell it instead of store it :-(

Just a couple more pics added...

Nice motor davyboy. Looks a real mean machine :-) I had considered making one or two minor mods to mine such as a better air filter etc but so far it remains standard. I had a new exhaust fitted yesterday as I suspected there was a blow somewhere but to be honest it still sounds a bit throaty...

I agree, they do seem to be a bit of a rarity. I often used to see one near where I live and always liked the look of them. I've only owned this one for about 4 months but 'er indoors' is continually pestering me to sell it and get something modern.

On my 4th K11 Micra now and I must say, after having 1.0 models previously, this 1.4 Sport Plus is a world apart. Definitely got a bit more ooomph under the bonnet :-) I'd made it my goal to find a good 1.4 but being of mature years I wasn't too sure about the bold interior. However its grown on...

I'm interested in this. Where are you? What further details can you provide? What price are you asking?

Seems the only feasible conclusion so I'll try to investigate further when I get chance. In the meantime its starting and running OK again with a new 15A fuse installed.

1997 Micra Passion 1.0 I had difficulty starting my Micra, it just wouldn't fire, so after scanning the forum I decided to follow the advice about removing the fuel pump fuse and then replacing it. Strange thing was there was no fuse installed. I'm puzzled how I've been driving...
