Nissan Primera GT LE ....... No idea what it's like
Discussion
Nissan Primera GT LE P11 5 door hatch 1 owner from new.
Following on from Kitchski's AX Gt thread (below) I am currently on a Train heading to deepest darkest Devon to rescue a 1 owner Primera GT.
It's 190 miles from me and once I arrive at Exeter it's another hours drive from the station to where the car is.
All I know is it's a nice shade of blue has done 115k miles and will need some work for its MOT.
The lady who has owned the car since new has upgraded to a new car.
I've had a few of these Primera GT's and good ones are very good to drive for very little £££.
I will update with some photos once I collect it, first job is straight in for an MOT to see what it's going to need.

It was a long trip but very much worth the effort, the car drives superbly and came with a fully documented history, every old bill and receipt etc.
This is my 4th Primera GT and drives the best of the lot, its clearly been very well looked after.
Drove it straight to the MOT garage and it passed with no issues (I was expecting there to be a few things to sort but the car is in much better condition that I was expecting).
Next jobs are fit some premium brand tyres, get the wheels refurbished and take it to a track day for some high revving fun!

Looks a cracker
You going to be fitting any aftermarket parts etc
What bits have you added to your Gt?You going to be fitting any aftermarket parts etc
I think I will keep it standard although if some second hand bits come available like induction kit I might add those bits later, but its such a nice original car it would be a shame to mess about with it.
Here it is parked beside his little brother the 1.8 Sport (which is not in the least bit Sporty other than the badge!)

I miss mine. Owned for seven years. Eventually scrapped it as it needed a shed load of welding and body work for its M.O.T. I still have the JDM Xenons that were on it that I must put on ebay one day! Replaced it with a Saab 9-5 Aero Estate which is in a different league in a straight line but bores me to death. The Primera was a joy to drive all the time.
They are getting incredibly rare now. Here is my old one.
Hopefully one day I will import a SR20VE equipped Primera and get it converted to manual.
