Nissan S Cargo (Nissan Escargot - The Snail)

The Nissan S Cargo or Nissan Escargot as it has become widely known (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. ) was produced in limited numbers from 1989-92 where only 12,000 were ever produced in Japan. They are part of the Nissan / Pike Dynasty and are highly sought after little collecters vans. Escargot are all 1500cc automatics and run on the Nissan Sunny running gear. Used the world over as highly profitable promotional or quality advertising vehicles. (Macdonaldsand KFC have bought 100's for that very reason!)

Algys Autos Ltd has 2. One is painted red with Postman Pat Graphics, the other is yellow and is Delboy's present to Rodders in their new Trotters Independant Livery. They turn heads and demand so much attention it is the best advertising feature you can imagine!

We are able to supply Nissan Escargot to you fully sprayed in whatever colour and graphics you require

  
The Nissan Escargot is 2 seats and the rear access hinges from the top. The majority of the back door is glass. Its height is excellent for deliveries of all sorts.

Nissan Escargot as Promotional Advertising Vans

  
  

 

Mischief and the Klownmobile. Made by the Pike Factory, the Nissan S Cargo ( Escargot ), is the perfect klown car. Every where Mischief goes he gets smiles and waves. Two seats in front, plenty of space in the back for stilts and magic gear, and a 1500cc Nissan Pulsar engine Mischief can go almost anywhere. In 1999 Mischief went to Auckland and the Escargot klownmobile did not miss a beat.
