Rare Nissan spotted.

[sonic]

I was just driving through Stockport and spotted this, it is in really good condition and had a nice set of alloys on it which I didn't recognise.

I love the fold down rear windows and peel back rag top, how retro is that.

Saw an S-Cargo in London last week, going down bruton street past our office.

S-Cargo?! i read that phonetically, spot on for 'Escargot' (French for snail) - i would've thought Nissan being part-owned by Renault, they would've looked this up!

 

[Pete]

yes, it is a deliberate ploy by the the japanese as the S-Cargo looks like a snail. It's a rebodied K11, usually with an auto gearbox, not many of them about.

S-Cargo being because it looks like a snail and because it's a van (i.e. carries cargo)

 

[Speedle]

aye thats a Pao a K10 derivative i think and dont quote me on this it has the ma10t engine fitted the same as the figaro, its in GT4 as well iirc

 

[sonic]

the Figaro has an MA09T engine Speedle, it's only 900cc.

[Arnold]

MA10 Turbo

Speedle was correct in the first place

 

[Speedle]

of course i am! when it comes to k10's don't try to prove me wrong for the record the ma09 series engine was only ever fitted to the ST all other k10 turbos are the MA10T. bleeding k11 owners! lol

 

[sonic]
