I think Grimsby has more per head of population than any where else in the UK. I've seen three of them today.

Fair few in Harrogate too. Think they're the 'in' thing at the moment. There's an S-Cargo around as well which is the more interesting of these Micra derivatives. Wouldn't be seen dead in any of them mind.
I don't know if they're more popular in Grimsby than elsewhere but I did rear end one at Swiss Cottage in London in 2004 and it crumpled from the rear offside wing to the door. I didn't realise until that moment just how expensive these little things are. I think the repair was about £3k.
There a Micra underneath, all Automatic, lovely retro style interior.
ISTR that the colours were based on the Seasons too - Spring/Green, Summer/Yellowy, Autumn/Beigey, Winter/Blue.
I think there neat, cool little town car with the opportunity to catch some rays when the suns out.
I guess there bought by people who might previously have bought a beetle or a Moggy minor - not petrolheads, jsut after an interesting car.
The difference being the Nissan wont be absolutely s
t, and dissolve in the rain or sometimes not start on days ending in Y.
The Pao is even cooler though - check this out (Different body on same mechanicals I think) -
What a great looking car.

Absolutely. Not for the enthusiast, but certainly for people who appreciate car design at some level. I'm more enthusiastic about seeing one of these than I am about seeing 90% of the cars on the road.

I love them. What a great looking car.
No turbo and carbed engine, but also based on a K10 micra.

Well the Pao's certainly better than a 2CV which it seems to take a lot of design cues from.No turbo and carbed engine, but also based on a K10 micra.
