    Name change of the show to High Peak Nissan NX? I think it is brilliantly funny that the scrap yard is next to your mechanics. There's an energy saving tip for anyone setting up either a scrapyard or a mechanics workshop - find that other neighbour. Soon, Nissan might be onto you looking for a car for their museum. Maybe not, as they are not that flush at the moment. Have fun with the car blending.

    1st service was done 3 yrs before registration. I think under the stickers the number plates will be dan perkins nissan aka dan dan the nissan man if so they are original for the car!! . History sadly is As genuine as Katie prices mother of the year award!!

    • @frimleyfrodo
      @frimleyfrodo 17 дней назад +1

      Definitely not a Cornwall car. BY at end of the registration number suggests it started life in London and would have been likely to have been a Dan Perkins supplied car. As you rightly state he became Dan Dan the Nissan Man, having previously been Dan Dan the Datsun Man!

    • @guystevens2746
      @guystevens2746 15 дней назад

      The current plates might be original? they have the larger pre-2001 font, it would look wrong with post-2001 smaller font. I'd recommend keeping the current plates (but remove the stickers), or fit period correct pre-2001 style plates.

    I had the same bug with Bluebirds, had 7 at one point. Always hated seeing them getting scrapped after they were pilfered for parts.
    The vehicle check showed the chassis as B13 so the Sunny part of the MOT description makes sense as the B13 followed from the B12 Sunny Coupe and probably shared the same chassis. (I had 2 B12s too at one point, great cars)
    Great video, and this is a series I am following with much interest

    Great to see what is a proper classic Japanese car being saved from the scrapyard. With your donor cars there is no reason why this one can't be turned into a decent vehicle. Well done to Clive for getting in touch with you.

    Another one saved, great job. And yes, Sluggie sure does get around, he’s keeps making an overnight Banksy on my block paved driveway 😂
