Beautiful Red PopUp.

What kind of pipe is that?

Also that is the smallest car I have ever seen, in the back ground.
Looks like a ‘arris to me
The pipe not the car btw.

Car is a Nissan Micra, probably in Katana 13L silver :lol: :lol:
The pipe is indeed, a Harris F1 4-1. Sounds good, but not too loud, so has probably got “Road” baffles in.

The car is as Blix said a Nissan Micra K11 1992 to 2002 in the KL0 Silver Metallic paint.

Which is possibly not a bad match for 13L

Both the pipe and the car do have a tendency to rust though






I did spend several hours looking at it while waiting for the RAC not to turn up........ :roll: :lol:

The Pipe is a Harris works with "street Legal" baffles. Unfortunately no longer produced. As to the car no idea, but Noddy and Big Ears had popped into the garage for a Costa :lol:

Norman Hyde bought Harris rights at the end of the 90's which included the zorst tooling etc...The quality was compromised a bit , which may have led to the slowing of sales , but at that time there were loads of zorst makers around....none of them worked on standard jetting either!
The Harris was the nicer but you lost the centre stand ...and the springs usually . But at least you could change the oil , not like many others ..

I have managed to fit a centre stand on mine and the carbs have had the jets "up graded". The jury is out as whether the jetting is correct or not. Need a few more miles on the clock and a spark plug check.
