The Nissan S-Cargo is a radically different retro-styled van manufactured by Nissan from 1989 to 1991. The S-Cargo was originally marketed solely in Japan at their Nissan Cherry Stores, and over its two-year production run only 8,000 were produced.
The S-Cargo was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1989 and was originally marketed without Nissan branding and was available by reservation only.
Because of its origins at the Pike Factory, (Nissan’s special project group), the S-Cargo,along with the Nissan Figaro are known as Nissan’s “Pike cars.” In 2011, noted design critic Phil Patton, of The New York Times, called the Pike cars “the height of postmodernism” .
The exterior styling of the S-Cargo was inspired by the Citroën 2CV delivery van, and interior styling borrowed a Citroën-style single-spoke steering wheel. The name was a double entendre, standing for “Small Cargo” and sounding like “escargot”, which in turn is a nickname for the Citroën 2CV.
The S-Cargo is powered by a 1.5 L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, a 3-speed automatic transmission,.
Optional items included, an electric canvas sunroof, and air conditioning.
Seller states this Nissan S-Cargo is in very good condition inside and out, and could be a fun advertising tool.
