New here! Looking to buy K10 1.0l

[DANGEROUS]

Hi guys, not really sure where to begin, I've never been a huge fan of Micra's, but insurance costs, amongst other things have led me here.

Names Dave, most call me Dangerous, as I frequently cause accidents, and am a hazard to be around haha! Only joking I don't actually know why.

Currently looking at a 1990 K10 988cc.

I quite like the K10 model, and to me this seems an amazing example, I have a few questions for you.

1. How reliable are they, providing it's serviced regularly will it take abuse?

2. Is there much ways without changing the engine I can get decent power, 70-80bhp is a bit better than the standard 50.

3. Whats the opinions on that particular car? As it's a fair distance from home, but am willing to travel for it.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers.

Dave

Should be very reliable if looked after, the car looks good, worth asking what the minor blemishes are and if there's any proof of the low mileage before you travel to view, don't know too much about tuning the K10 but i'm sure someone else on here will.

Alright, cheers.

looks pretty tidy, just remember though almost ALL micra's have low miles this isn't up for sale at the moment but its like everything if offered the right price it will go

Aye I noticed that.

Another thing I was wandering, would the car in the advert be a 4 or 5 speed. I hate 4 speed gearbox's, dunno why though.
