A little gem K10 Nissan Micra LS family owned from new with 8,355 miles.
EQUIPMENT
Wrap around bumpers, halogen headlamps, tilt/detachable glass sunroof, sunroof shade panel and bag, driver’s door mirror, locking fuel cap, rear fog lamp, folding rear seats, rear seat belts, opening rear side windows, lockable glove box, 3-speed heater fan, heated rear window, cigar lighter, front and rear ashtrays, centre console, leatherette boot mat. Dealer Accessories; Nissan mud flaps, passenger door mirror, security etched glass, Philips AC760 radio cassette with Clarion 513 2-speaker system.
EXTERIOR
This fabulously frugal yet fun Nissan Micra epitomizes everything it was designed for, simplicity and basic economy motoring from a bygone era when even a passenger door mirror was a cost considered option! Once Britain’s best-selling one litre hatchback this prime example is finished in factory original Blue, (Code BG5). The paint finish looks amazing with a deep polished shine and only a few minuscule marks after 36 years. All factory fitted panels are straight with perfect panel seams and the underside and wheel arch apertures are very clean thanks to minimal use and indoor storage. The wrap around bumpers, colour keyed radiator and all trim is largely unmarked and the glass is number plate etched. Resplendently retro and utterly ordinary!
INTERIOR
Truly astonishing and near perfect in condition and function. The higher grade Grey Tricot seat trim, (Code G), is in pristine condition and entirely commensurate with 8,355 miles from new. The interior trim and door cards are in amazing condition as are the carpets and headlining. Remarkably the often-discarded sunroof stowage bag and sunshade panel remain with the car. The wonderfully basic dashboard houses a full array of working warning lights to detect such things as oil pressure and low brake fluid and the dealer optional Philips AC760 radio cassette functions. The boot area looks virtually unused with a bagged pouch for the wheel brace and handle and factory paint stamp marking on the spotless boot floor. Even the spare wheel plyboard cover is undamaged! The Micra may only be 12ft long but the cleverly shaped interior affords ample room for adults and their luggage for reliable retro outings!
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Tremendous fuel economy and unfaltering reliability are assured with this 988cc engine producing 50bhp and 72Nm of torque. First flick of the key and the instantly recognisable engine note will stir up nostalgia and the driving characteristics of this fun little car which will certainly draw a smile! The under-bonnet area is very clean with all stickers and bulkhead chassis number stamping intact. The 4-speed gearbox is light, precise and an absolute joy to use.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Factory fitted steel wheels with delightfully miniscule Micra chrome centre caps are in immaculate order and brand-new premium Michelin MX 145 R12 tyres were fitted in July 2024 at a cost of £380. The spare wheel remains shod in the unused factory Dunlop tyre with chalk bands still visible. The servo assisted braking system with front disc brakes do an admirable job of stopping this car quickly and safely.
HISTORY FILE
Registered new on the 13th June 1988 by Nissan Main Dealer, Surrell (Cambridge Limited), this delightful Micra has remained in the same family from new and covered a genuine 8,355 miles. Registered to husband and then wife, Mr and Mrs Berry, the car was then passed into ownership of their son Stephen Berry. A new car sales invoice confirms the price paid of £4,657.76 less part exchange allowance for a Nissan Sunny! In 2003, Mrs Berry ceased to drive the vehicle and thankfully had the foresight to ensure the car was stored in her dry, well-ventilated garage where it remained until July 2024. Mrs Berry’s son contacted KGF Classic Cars to discuss the sale of this family owned and ultra-low mileage classic and arrangement were made to inspect the car with a view to recover it. Immediately upon inspection, it was very apparent just how preserved and original the car was after 21 years of perfect storage. During the process of full recommissioning including major service, fuel system and ignition service, brake overhaul, cambelt and water pump, the car was found to have never been subject to structural repair work and still wore its factory fitted panels and original tyres!
The handbook, spare keys and a large file of invoices and previous MOT certificates form the history file along with an original sales brochure. Very difficult to find better and such great reliable retro fun!
MOT August 2025, HPI Clear.

Nissan's of this era were bullet proof. That's a museum piece Micra.
They sure were!
Finding one of these that hasn’t been run into the ground delivering takeaways is almost unheard of.
This one has never seen a Bhuna!
Just love the simplicity of older cars now . That’s a nice little car 👍
Simple!
What a little corker - my employers at the time hired me one for a couple of weeks and I loved it. Can’t be many left at least not in this condition - tempted - store it and take it to the odd show - condition needs preserving because as time goes on it will be an increasingly great example of a long forgotten and rarely seen ordinary little car .
Great little car!
I remember that these were supposed to be 'disposable' cars when manufactured. I don't think even Nissan thought about the longevity that would endure. Amazing. I actually love the cars you feature that aren't necessarily performance cars. ❤
Thanks!
Haven't seen one of these in years. Nice reminder of my youth.
Rare these days!
I worked at a Nissan dealer from 1988-1991, as a car cleaner/ driver,
Oh the memories 😊
Memories!
Grew up with 3 of these in succession between 1995 and 2001. All autos (A plate in gold, C in metallic blue and an E in white). The fact I have it as my profile pic tells you how fondly I remember them
We were blessed to have some nice options on ours but this base model still brings back the memories. Love it, thanks KGF!
Thank you for your comment!
Well worth the asking price. Keep it well serviced and check for rust occasionally during ownership and you have a car that will last a life time. Well done KGF.
Absolutely!
Proper Nissan with top reliability
Very reliable!
Great cars. My first car was the five door version. Hope this finds a loving home
Thank you for your comment!
It's july 1986 again , as I passed my driving test in one of these, a collett model, I'd had lessons in my dad's hillman hunter and going from that to this k10 was so different, this one here is in China blue ,as many years later I had a nissan bluebird in this colour. Really lovely car.
Thank you for sharing!
The ultimate in reliability, put simply they were virtually unbreakable mechanically, got to be up there with the best in the world hasn't it ?😮
We think so!
@@KGFClassicCars I've been in the business for over 40yrs myself, I know you"ve been going a few years yourself online and have always admired your ability to find super low mileage everyday classics in timewarp condition, especially old Fords ..... you'll sell this very easily for £5,995 I don't doubt, it will probably go to a collector but what a cheap super reliable thing you could just use and use ( albeit with no power steering ) but hardly noticeable on those size wheels, top stuff, all the best. Mark Anthony Prestige.
It's nice to see such a fine example! I'm quite glad there aren't many of these about though - they're hideously uncrashworthy 😨
Thank you for sharing!
Well done KGF, fun little understated practical classic, get into a nice classic and go down memory lane once in a while, looks a bargain.
Thanks for a Super upload, Best wishes to all at KGF and fellow viewers.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@KGFClassicCars Thank you, wishing you a super weekend.
Amazing example. It would be fitting if it sold for the original purchase price.
Absolutely
I learned to drive in one of these. 1988.
A lot of people did!
Belongs in a museum.
Could do!
Nice old nissan
Thank you!
Very nice - bargain for someone that and a better bet than a modern 3 door hatch for the same money
Bargain!
In about 2001 I had a late one of these on a J plate, was a 1.2 model in light blue metallic, it was SGX (or GSX?) spec IIRC. TBH I only bought it to sell on which it did quite quickly.
SGX and GSX were available models
nice restored micra they were the base line of those models.
Thank you you can't beat original!
Nice, smooth, simple and economical
Nice!
That is a very viable alternative to a newer tech-laden car for someone wanting easily maintained transport.
Where on earth do you find them?😊
We search hard!
I know exactly what the interior of that car smells like 😂
80's Japanese!
My uncle had a Nissan Sunny and I remember the smell.
Nissan's answer to the Ford Fiesta ...Find me a more reliable car than this Nissan Micra... These had a superb reliability record. Where do you find these "Top tier" ultra-low mileage classic cars KGF?
Only the best cars get sold at KGF Classic Cars.
Thank you!
I learnt to drive in one of these.
So did i!
That's a bargain!
Thank you!
This was nearly my first car. These were great cars but absolute rust buckets. This is the first one I've seen with no rust. They were all rusty 30 years ago!
No rust amazingly preserved!
Speedo looks like it as been played with to me
Doesn't to me.
@@taks8439 and me
No all orginal!
02:29 Hmmm..good spot. 00 Numbers not the most even/level with the others? Could also be genuine though. Car definitely seems to support the mileage shown, so I would give it the benefit of the doubt. Great find!👍🏻
