1987 NISSAN Prairie 1.8 SGL
This car has been scrapped after June 2015. So I was right on time recording this 80s car, which has become rare in our streets nowadays.
Posting last year finds I noticed that a lot of 80s cars have been scrapped meanwhile. This category of cars form a very vulnerable group of cars: to old to compete with current cars, to young to be considered as classic cars. Therefore they suffer by the lack of protection they deserve. They're depending on the goodness of the individual car enthusiast.
This Prairie M10-Series was introduced in Japan in 1981 and in Europe one year later. It was one of the very first compact MPV's. Naganori Ito was the designer.
In the US it was called Stanza Wagon.
Note the attractive sliding door, which is on both sides.
1809 cc.
1090 kg.
Production Prairie M10-series: 1981-1988.
