Vehicle Description
The Nissan S-Cargo is a very handy small retro commercial van
manufactured by Nissan for model years 1989-1991, and originally
marketed solely in Japan at their Nissan Cherry Stores.
The exterior styling of the S-Cargo was inspired by the Citro�n 2CV
Fourgonnette delivery van, and interior styling borrowed a
Citro�n-style single-spoke steering wheel. The name was a double
entendre, standing for "Small Cargo" and sounding like "escargot",
the French word for snail, which in turn is a nickname for the
Citro�n 2CV.
The S-Cargo was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1988, was
originally marketed without Nissan branding and was available by
reservation only. Over its two-year production run, 8,000 were
produced (variously reported as 12,000).
Because of its origins at Pike Factory, (Nissan's special project
group), the S-Cargo along with the Nissan Figaro, Be-1 and Pao are
known as Nissan's "Pike cars."
The white one we have here at Skyway has a grey interior, automatic
transmission, air conditioning, and right hand drive....yes I said
right hand drive.
Its engine is a naturally aspirated petrol, 1.5 liter, single
overhead camshaft 4 cylinder with 2 valves per cylinder. It
produces 72 bhp of power at 5600 rpm, and maximum torque of 86
lb�ft at 3200 rpm. A 3 speed automatic transmission transfers the
power to the wheels.
In 2011, noted design critic Phil Patton, writing for the New York
Times, called the Pike cars "the height of postmodernism" and
"unabashedly retro, promiscuously combining elements of the Citro�n
2CV, Renault 4, Mini and Fiat 500." This car has also been featured
on a top 50 ugliest cars list.
So if you want a really low production cargo carrier for you
business that will really attract attention, this Nissan we have
here at Skyway is the one for you!
