Figaro Fan and Viewt owner David asked to join the Register and because it is a small Nissan based import we said yes. We then asked him to supply a description of the car. (Image curtesy of Google)
Hi David and Laura,
A few details about my car:
1996 Mitsuoka Viewt 1.3 auto. Built from the K11 series Nissan Micra, which basically consists of restyling the front and rear ends to resemble a Jaguar Mk.2 complete with chunky chrome bumpers. The interior on my car is more or less standard micra, but some have leather trim and/or wood effect dashboard. My car does have electric front windows and aircon though. It has currently done 85,000 km (just over 50,000 miles) and I am the second owner since it was imported into the UK. I have owned it since August 2007. I use it as my everyday car and it is always attracting attention, people either love it or hate it! There are not that many around, I have seen 3 others in the past 3 years, but there are quite often one or two advertised on autotrader and ebay. There is a company called Mitsuoka UK who specialises in importing them, but I bought mine from a Japanese car importer locally in Stockport.
Thanks,
David Rhodes.
