The Snail
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.
The T_b
T_b caravans (pronounced Tab caravans) are hand built to order and combine chic retro design with a 'Tardis like' interior. All being made to order you can choose your interior upholstery, exterior body kit and which options you wish to have added to the 'naked' mode.
