Good little car those first 2 Micra's.
Going back a long time here, spotted the roof a Rover 90 in the middle of a whole load of undergrowth in a field when i was a mere boy and into banger racing...turned out to be sitting on a trailer whose tyres were flat and persihed over many years so i'd estimate 6 or more years standing.
Got some wheels for the trailer and bought the complete lot for about £20 IIRC.
Well i put a drop of petrol in it (pipe via a can i seem to recall, wouldn't be using the fuel tank anyway) and connected the jump leads up...first touch of the key she fired and purred and was used for a season.
