CarolsHusband Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Thanks man, I knew you'd know. Bit sad they're not metal but hey-ho. 75 quid though... Really ? Theirs are metal though, right ? Guess that's why mine was bodged together. Think I'm playing with the big boys now. / I've always liked a shaved bootlid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 No, it'll probably be plastic. This is the part number if you want to try and get one from your local agent: 84814-A0255 or you could get one from eBay https://www.ebay.com/p/1341030882 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolsHusband Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Yeah Nah Looks like I'm way too tight to own a nice car. Maybe I'll look into it when I paint it. /still surprised it's not metal to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hako owner cries poor. Morris badges are cheap eh? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Morris-Minor-Chrome-Side-Bonnet-Badge-MINOR-1000/333580067891 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you'd definitely be poor once you'd bought one. But yes, if Morris were still making badges in metal then, what were Nissan thinking ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarolsHusband Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 You ask him, I'm looking at the ridiculous price of these things now in Japan. Maybe I should sell it back to them. no one's going to pay that money for them now, surely ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Valuations are getting toward the 6 figure mark here for 110s and I can only imagine 10s are higher. (even if they're sedans...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolsHusband Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Just looking on carsensor. 2000 GT sedans similar spec to mine but mostly with the correct single carb and I assume as rust free as mine, are around the 3.5 to 4.8 million Yen mark. There's a stock GT-X coupe for 14 million. Kenmeri, you say ? https://www.carsensor.net/usedcar/detail/CU8951213963/index.html?TRCD=200002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Yeah, so that Hardtop Kenmeri ($88,000NZD) is only slightly more than a Hako sedan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarolsHusband Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Not even in Wales. Maybe in Scotland but it probably wouldn't have a roof. *edit* Yep, it hasn't got a roof... https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-75876194.html 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyteler Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Don't be upset. Most things in life are a waste of money. I also said I was glad. Why would it sadden you for me to be glad? Geeez. Drill your bootlid please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Do the badges not have the spiked washers internally to hold them on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NOS one does (can see them if you zoom in on the picture) but the one he broke had the pins snapped off and was glued on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
