Mk1 Mr2

[Portmyster]

Is anyone running a Mk1 Mr2 as a daily drive? I am starting to tier of the micra and I have backing from the other half to change if I dnt use up any money thus I had a Mk2 which was fantastic, Ive seen some around £1500-2000. So are they still reliable to use daily for 2/3 years without any major repairs apart from the brakes, tyers and service and what is the fuel econmy like.

Thoughts please

Thanks for reply, yep I think if I could find a rust free example then wax oil all the car it could be a cheep fun daily car for few years before selling for family car as kids are planed.

Insurance is the same as the micra, servicing & maintainace would be done by my mate cash which would be a good idea.

Thanks to all,

It confirms my ideas regarding the car, which if the body work is rust free and the engine maintained.For a little extra cash on top of the micra would make a entertaining daily drive even thou its a 20yrs plus car with reasonable running costs. New year looks promissing then once we get over the worst winter months to search.
