HARD on the heels of the successful Micra Inspiration, Nissan's fastest-selling Micra model ever, the company is introducing a new special edition Micra - the Celebration, which comes with one year's free insurance.

Three models are available with a choice of Nissan's best selling 1.0-litre or 1.3-litre engine and three- or five-door bodystyles with manual transmission.

Standard features on the 1.0-litre and 1.3-litre three-door Micra Celebration include tilt/slide sunroof, tapered side guard mouldings, 14-inch wheels, and rear spoiler. In addition, the 1.3-litre model has body-coloured door mirrors and remote central locking. The 1.3-litre five-door model gains air-conditioning and front fog lamps. All models in the Celebration range have power steering, driver's airbag and engine immobiliser as standard. Prices start from £7,700 on-the-road for the 1.0-litre model rising to £9,400 for the 1.3-litre five-door model.
