1989 NISSAN S-CARGO in Calgary, AB

Seller note:

1989 NISSAN S-CARGO:
The Nissan S-Cargo is a small retro commercial van manufactured by Nissan. Its name was an amusing double entendre meaning both "Small Cargo" as well as "Escargot", the French word for snail. This was because the styling of the S-Cargo looked a lot like a snail. The S-Cargo design was directly inspired by the appearance of the tiny French Citroën 2CV camionette or small truck, even including the single spoke steering wheel. The 2CV was relatively popular in Japan at this time.
The car was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1989, and was built from 1989 to 1992 by Pike Factory for Nissan. Approximately 12,000 were manufactured. All S-Cargo's are right hand drive. While initially marketed only in Japan, S-Cargo's have spread as grey import vehicles.
It has a small cult following, in spite of being criticised for looking "toy like". Its rarity, quirky looks and huge signage panels make it an attention-grabbing vehicle. Both McDonald's and KFC have used it for mobile billboard advertising.
The S-Cargo was equipped with a 1.5-litre E15S 4-cylinder petrol/gasoline engine, a 3-speed automatic transmission, and air conditioning.

LOW LOW MILEAGE FOR A 1989 VEHICLE

HAS A GREAT HEATER FOR THE WINTER

I DRIVE THIS EVERYDAY

The vehicle is based on a 1985 Nissan Sentra platform so that means the mechanics are essentially the same as the Sentra, I have done the brakes on the vehicle, regular oil changes every
5000 kilometres, and taken the car in to get any work done on it that it needed - mechanical parts are easy to get.

IT DOES NEED A WINDSHIELD - THE PRICE IS INDICATIVE OF THIS - NORMAL ASKING PRICE WOULD BE AROUND $8500 - $9000

I JUST GOT NEW TIRES INSTALLED ON MONDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 2011

I WILL REMOVE ALL OF THE ADVERTISING FROM THE VEHICLE

I have this listed on eBay as well
