hi only used this site a few times, found it a valuable resource for my niva.
moving home shortly from croydon.. my niva I've only owned for around a year, i paid a premium for it i later learned..
anyway I've spent a lot on it am torn to keep it or not, the mrs wants a newer car.. reluctant sale.

it passed its mot 3 weeks ago.
fully serviced.
drives fine.. had a few carb issues, conclusion the carb is a bit naff, timing screw is not doing anything , so its a bit funky when idling
bought a dgv 32/36 webber brand new, will need jetting if the buyer wants to bolt it on, {80 quid southern carbs]
thats the only thing wrong with it, but i still drive it.
inside is pretty much mint.
underside is amazing, every person that looks at it in terms of mechanics keep saying that.
slight bit of surface rust on driver side window seal.. am happy to throw on more pictures .
the miles just over 27,000 are indeed genuine.
includes factory service manual.
and also includes a bearing transfer case kit, they are very rare cost me a few hundred, once fitted irons out a major flaw in all lad a nivas since they rebuilt them in late 2000..
fitted front bullbar, am currently trying to get the rear bullbar to go on.. bought it without fixings and scratching my head how to make it fit.

like i said really don't want to get rid of it.. am open to very sensible offers, no scam on my part, spent loads on it, the right person that wants it will hugely benefit.
very good condition overall.
welcome to ask questions , view pretty much anytime and can take photos

I am cutting my balls of saying 1000, massive loss..
I'm not a fool either, but I do feel as the tax expires this month..
And the carb should be replaced, as low as I will go right now.
800... And mate.. I will cry my eyes out.
I wish my circumstances were different..
Like I said anybody can view it and they probably would pay a grand.
Can take engine pics also.
December I added high performance 5 core extreme Ht leads and a k&n air filter

It's worth more than £1000.

You'd be better off on selling it on eBay and personally I'd take the front bullbar off - it does nothing for it. In fact, it takes the look off an exceptional car. A piece of advice for free, drop the bit about the transfer case, it's complete rubbish.

I also get a blank screen clicking on the link. It will open if you click on link and then select open in new window, or copy and paste link into your address bar.

Do not sell that for a grand. That will go for closer to 2K on ebay at the moment.
