Thanks. We all have our interests and that’s fine. Certainly wouldn’t change mine and wouldn’t expect anyone to change theirs either. The Fiesta is a great car and so easy to drive without (my opinion) the annoying distractions of beeps and touchscreens. Running costs will shortly be very low, with just a little maintenance and £100 insurance as it will be of course tax and MOT exempt. Visibility is also better than in modern cars but that’s where things can become an issue. As that visibility obviously is at the cost of safety. For me, the cars, and driving them, is my hobby. My way of being happy. I guess most hobbies cost… Thanks for your comment.

Only really the need for good service history. Preferably a specialist. Check when the Aux drive belt kit (with tensioner) was last changed. Should be 6 years or 37k miles. Would want good quality oil changes, again preferably every 12 months or 10k miles as they can be driven hard. Last thing is, in the UK, the fuel flap says to use ‘98 RON’ or above. We have unleaded fuel typically from 95-99 so I always used the higher 99.

Thanks a lot sir

I have the 2006 450 and a 2011 451. Yes love them both.

Thanks. They are real simple and can see why they were popular school cars. I don’t think I hide my excitement well and suggest it highlights the Fiesta would be one of the last cars I ever sell.

@@LivetoDriveUK That's quite a statement.

We are doing easy 50+ and have got 60mpg on a steady run from Derbyshire to Bristol.

Thank you for your guidance. I listened 👍🙃

Thanks. I had the work done by someone as I know my limits… which are many. Trying to not over restore but preserve history.

He did love it… kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcugiLGiyZqpeac.htmlsi=yJOuVvw_EeQko6Ha

Welcome and thanks for subscribing. Yes there are many Kei cars in Japan that are used as campers. All the best with your journey.

Thanks. Yes I think I could have been talking about many people as I know a few who have done it. I would definitely sell if I thought it best for the car.

Thanks. I would have been daft to replace the whole wing when only a little piece at the bottom needed replacement. MX5 Mk1 must be getting more rare now? Would love one. That short gear lever that apparently is more like a flick switch. Awesome.

@@LivetoDriveUK It is 35 years since the MX5 mk1 was launched, went to the owners club anniversary, near Wellsbourne, afew weeks ago & 3200 mx5’s of all mk’s attended

Wow! That’s a proper show. Wellsbourne. I’m sure I used to go to a market there.

I wonder… 🤔

This is what it is about. Memories. I purchased it because it is the same as the first car I drove, a B reg 1.1 Popular Plus. A school car. Way back in 1986 😬 Thanks for sharing your memories and for your comment.

Totally agree. It would be good if the Kei car had better crash protection but as a car otherwise, it is probably the only car most people need.

If the mechanicals are sound the body can always be improved. You must not resist…

Yes I do have a 451. Smoother on the road and quicker although I personally prefer the original 450 🙃

Thanks for watching and your support 👍

Thanks. It took trial and error.

Thanks for the feedback.

As a person from Birmingham, England, we are not known for our pronunciation. Yes, we love Kei cars. Thanks for watching.

Yes they are fun. Love the N Box.

Love the pillarless near side,and the totally flat folding seatd.

Callum, I love the N Box and the Daihatsu Move Canbus. I don’t know the company that did the decal. That was done through Lee at IVA Services. Lee’s number is 07879 894277.

@@LivetoDriveUK Great - thank you Paul!

Thanks. Yes JDM Auction Watch are still on Facebook. I think Patrick is based in Ireland and they have someone who finds the vehicles in Japan. I would use them again. Mention us and the Tanto he found if you contact them.

I think it’s the foam that decomposes and the glue then fails. Felicity is going to a vehicle upholstery place so will be asking them what is the best option.

@@LivetoDriveUK I hope a fix can be achieved - for both!

The VED on mine is £330ish. But my cars are on SORN for a few months a year so not as much cost. Your Skoda Fabia is certainly worth keeping and looking after. Love low owner/mileage examples.

We do love the 75. More videos are coming…

Thanks 🙏

Yes it was great to meet you too. Now thinking what car I would like to try and find and buy back 🤔

@@LivetoDriveUK Ahaha. It's the second car I've done that with - also bought my first Elise back for another couple of years, so the Smart is in good company. Just noticed you have an Imp - it's on my wife's hitlist as well. What are they like to run these days - parts reasonable to source? Body panels? Patent parts? You have good taste in oddball cars!

Parts are ok and there is a very active club and the ‘Anderson Brothers’ who (one lives down South and on in High Wycombe) hold many used parts including mechanical and trim. I love the Imp but the day may come when I decide to sell as I need to sample more cars whilst I’m still here 😬

They are certainly fun.

Thanks. Love the N Box and the Move Canbus. Tempted to import a Move.

Thanks for your support.
