Bad taste takes on a new meaning!

It's a 1000cc auto so I doubt it could carry a whole biscuit!

I think it shows vision...it would stop me speeding if nothing else. Over a short distance it will have the speed of a striking slug.

Is it the steering wheel you're referring to? The rest of the car is pretty much standard, and they've been around for the best part of 20 years.

I quite like the fact that the owner's gone to the trouble of putting a J-suffix plate on it, although I'm not sure how he can describe it as "age-related", seeing as the car was built in 1996. It wouldn't even be correct for a genuine Mk2, unless it had been registered well after production ended.

Inspector morse would not be impressed at all !

I love it!

What a good idea, I'd buy a Polo shaped like a Gullwing!

The automotive world would be a duller place without cars like this. In the UK the market is limited for cars like hs, but the Figaro seemed to hit the spot.

Or a Golf shaped like a Beetle, or a Panda shaped like a Fiat 500,

Hmmmmmm

Im not loving this but i guess some people might like it,

My wife loves the Nissan Figaro, infact i have imported 3 of the over the years. im guessing this car uses the same micra chassis and gearbox as the Figaro.

the Figaro is actually a very good car and you get good spec too elec windows, power steering, aircon and its a convertable all this in a mini retro car without the big bills of a classic car, i believe there are few issues with gearbox but they come in nice colours with cream leather and you can pick up a nice fun car in great nick for around £3500-£5000

not everyones cup of tea but cheap good reliable fun

I actually think its cool, you can see the Micra resemblance in the side picture.

A rival company used to do an XJ6-fronted Corolla estate, which was rather better proportioned than the Mitsuoka Viewt:

Thats awful as well!!!

The front end looks right, like a series 1 XJ6. I like it, but unfortunately the rest of the car is dire and the rear looks plain ugly. A '70s American-esque look with a faux spare wheel shaped design, in an estate - wierd. At least it'll be reliable I guess.
