**Edit 26/09/12**The B11 and B12 have been sold on since I started this thread** To add to my 1990 1.8 Sunny ZX Coupe, I recently acquired two more Sunnys. Firstly a 1987, N13 1.3LX Saloon in gold. Only 52K, totally solid, and started first time for the transporter driver who collected it for me from Kent (even though it hadn't been turned over since March and not driven for over 18 months!). She purrs like a kitten on tick-over, and should pass an MOT easily. Plans are to keep her minty standard. The second of my 'new' Sunnys is an immaculate 1985 B11, 1.5SGL auto, with 95K on the clock. This one is in stunning condition, and waxoiled from new underneath. Auto box silky smooth, and apart from needing a service and a wheel bearing on the way out, she's a beauty. Top of the range in it's day, the SGL boasted a digital clock, a rev counter, remote release for the boot and fuel cap and unbelievably plush corded velour upholstery (just like your nana's sofa!). Who needs power steering, central locking, electric windows etc etc!! lol Factory front fogs as far as I can tell.. Who said brown and beige was unfashionable - quality! My three Sunnys in the same pics... Thanks for looking.

you are a lucky man!
my old man had an identical n13 when I was in uni (except his was a 1.5) - can remember being bussed to liverpool in it while my k10 stayed at home - sadly he gave it to his sister to replace her car, and it was burnt to the ground by some yobbos
and weirdly, your b11 saloon is now the only b11 variation I haven't owned - I've had a coupe, a wagon, and I've now got a b11 breadvan
cool fleet!

Almost on the road: b11 sunny breadvan, e36 tds, 325i skidcar,
nearly there: ford f250 tathauler, suzuki alto, u11 bluey
not for a while: ford pop, 32 rails,
not in this lifetime: ruby, '29 hillman
''unfortanatly I'm quite old and scruffy and in need of some loving. my drive shaft needs a new boot....''

So much better than the originals... And @ kevfromwales: I think I'll have to check out your RR threads. Your fleet sounds bonzer! (did I just say 'bonzer'?? Oh dear!)

So, I've had this car for over a year now. Although it hasn't moved out of the works yard during that time, it's started at least once a week and driven round the yard to keep everything moving. Always starts strongly, first turn of the key still. I gave it some soap and some love yesterday as well..

I thought it was time I put this N13 in for an MOT. The lad tok it away on Friday, and will put it in on Monday/Tuesday. Let's see what happens. It's only done 200 miles since it's last MOT pass....in February 2010!

Yay, it's back on the roads!! After 3 years of slumbers, the N13 is back tearing up the roads of the NE!! (well, it's pootling about anyway ) I did 30 miles in it yesterday, and it did the job. A bit 'tight', but I guess some regular driving and fresh fuel will loosen it up a bit. Polished it to within an inch of it's life on Monday so it looked it's best going back on the roads... I'll be bringing it to the Retro meet at the Metro Centre next Wednesday. Her first meet! This one is totally factory fresh, so the plan is to keep it that way. No lowering. No alloys. No rust! You wouldn't believe how mint the wheel arches are. So it's taxed through until the end of September when I will take it off the roads for winter.
