    Unmodified S13 Hatchback 1990

    Hi Folks!
    I posted in the welcome thread a while ago, explaining that I was importing an S13 to Bristol from Europe? I now have an S13 for sale. Funny that.
    I'm not giving up on the S13 hunt, I just don’t have anywhere to store it right now. It’s obviously LHD/Kph - I had hoped to swap it to RHD but it seems that just isn’t practical.
    I'm honestly not trying to shift a lemon; far from it. The car is gorgeous and the previous owner (I was told that I was the second) really loved it. Aside from an imperfect repair on the rear passenger wheel arch, I can't find much to complain about at all - except the brakes, which I think were poor on all these early cars? The car seems entirely unmodified.
    The plan is to sell this car to someone happy with a LHD, pignose example and spend a bit more to get a later RHD Japanese car. (I am not allowed to buy any more cars without airbags.)
    Anyhow, the car is on Ebay for the next few days – I doubt it will sell. I set the reserve around 15k, but I really don’t know what is fair. Have a peep if interested: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175084914...QAAOSwWGdhyvK0
    Bonus, I also have a set of what I think are the correct OEM skirts I can throw in, if you like? They will look odd on a post-facelift car.

    To surprise of no-one, at the price I was asking this did not sell.

    But I am pleased to say I have found a solution! I am buying a diffrent house where I can keep my car. Some call that overkill, but I prefer to think of it as lateral thinking.

    Seems perfectly sensible solution to me.

    Curious as to why you're not allowed to buy a car without airbags though?

    I'm in my thirties, so of course it's because my mother says so.

    The last oldish car I crashed the airbags didnt go off anyway, I wouldnt worry

    More parking is always a good thing too, if I had the space I hate to think of how many old Nissans Id still have parked up "waiting to be fixed"

    I wasn't allowed to retire at 59 .... not even to look after them.

    She didn't have any clue about airbags.
