If anyone here wants it, I’ll sell it for 5000$, shipping to any Ro-ro port in North America or Europe included. A lot more pictures to come (100 or so and a walk around + short test drive video), but I thought I’d give you sneak peak before putting it on eBay. It’s not perfect, some small stains on the back seats mostly, steering and buttons have yellowed a little because of the sun and a few bolts that are rusting slightly (the ones holiding the roof rails rust very easily), but other than that, it’s in really great condition!

If you guys are enough of me posting about the cars I’ll sell, please let me know... I also have a 1991 Honda Acty Van coming up lol.

Oh geez, I better not show this to my girlfriend. She loves these, and keeps sending me links for ones for sale

Tess, give me your girlfriend’s email, I’m sure you’ll love getting the groceries in something like this! The ultimate manly man car :)

I do enjoy them a lot, but I don’t know if her first car should be something tiny and RHD. We’ll definitely have to get one sometime though

Yeah if you’re in a LHD country, a RHD car is not ideal for a first car... Actually I definitely wouldn’t recommend it as a first car haha. Once you’re used to drive and have experience, it’s really no problem at all... I often drive LHD cars here in Japan and it’s really no big deal...

When I get one, it will probably be mine and not for sale haha

It’s not perfect... Pictures play a big part of making it look as good as possible. I do focus on detail and picture all the defects of the car but I also like to show how good the car can look as a whole IN SPITE of all the pictured defects. All the tricks to sell cars online :)

I would probably not fit in anyway :)(1m95)

Tight but you should be fine... I’m not much smaller and I fit decently (1m88). Cars with a smaller steering wheel fit me really well... Those with aftermarket thinner seats are just perfect.

ERMAHGERHD! I love those!

Too bad Ohio would eat that in one winter and I have no place to store it.

Yeah it a would need to be garage there for sure...

Well, there’s no such thing as a perfect car - especially not one this old. I’d be far more concerned about someone saying a car is spotless than if they admitted there were a few little marks and defects

That’s a delightful car. Too bad the steering wheel is on the incorrect side.

Let’s face it, if a car like this ever came out of Japan in the first place, it wouldn’t even get a second look... But well its goofiness, rarity outside of Japan and cute look make its popularity, along with... The LHD thing :)

Not one of the cars you post will make its way to Quebec. They put a stop to importing RHD cars here.

Flavien Vidal > Wacko
02/18/2017 at 09:36

Nope, they have put a stop to 15 to 25 year old RHD cars. Cars over 25 years old are still importable in QC because they fall in the antique category where everything goes...

I have a garage but I already have two vehicles I want to put in it.

Neat! I want to own a RHD drive car one day. The Pike cars are very cool imo.

Yes! $5K in Rotterdam? Sounds excellent. What mileage? Any idea what I’d need to alter (I presume the headlights)?

I think it looks very sensible and very practical. I’d daily one in a hot second.

Flavien Vidal > Jobjoris
02/18/2017 at 16:50

5k$ to Bremerhaven, so yes Rotterdam too if it takes Ro-ro :)

Mileage is around 90000km on the clock, I’d have to take a look (early morning here, still tired lol). Nothing needs to be replaced really. It’s in genuinely good condition. It’s a Nissan Micra with a different body and interior so parts are plenty. Headlight shouldn’t require to be inversed, if have to check but I don’t think it does.

If you want it, it’s yours. Drop me an email flavien.vidal at the Google email service.

For the Netherlands the RoRo port of Emden might make more sense than Bremerhaven.

Flavien Vidal > duurtlang
02/18/2017 at 18:13

Rotterdam accepts Ro-Ro too apparently so since JobJoris is in between Antwerp and Rotterdam, it should do it... Unless for some weird reason Emdem is cheaper? I’ll check it out anyway if he takes the car :)

duurtlang > Flavien Vidal
02/18/2017 at 18:28

I meant Emden is an alternative for Bremerhaven, because Emden is right next to the Dutch border (Bremerhaven is not) and is the port the VW group uses to ship their cars. I shipped my BMW E30t to the US from there. I believe Rotterdam is more convenient for Jobjoris though.

Flavien Vidal > duurtlang
02/18/2017 at 18:33

Yeah, I just used Bremerhaven as an example for quotes to know how much it would cost me to ship the cars there... Basically, if you’re in between Japan and Bremerhaven, you’re good to go, I can have it shipped to you haha
