Sold it on 11 December 1999 as part exchange for the Lemon Express.
I picked it up at 14:00 BST on September 5 1997. It was a Nissan Almera GTi in Kuro Black. (It arrived at the dealer on September 1, but the body kit had to be fitted before I got it. I think Kuro is Japanese for Dark; in the US they call this color Super Black. Light just seems to fall into it; it was very hard to photograph!) Brother Simon said it looked like a van, so that's what I named it.
I broke with tradition and bought this car, my third Nissan, from Glyn
Hopkin Nissan in Chelmsford. I took advantage of Nissan's 3-3-3
scheme which for a small price got me 3 years insurance (a big
saving on a GTi), 3 years servicing, and the standard 3 year warranty.
