No clue what it is, but I like it. Dont mind the other "it aint made in 'merica so it's crap" comments, gotta love the open minded spirit of adventure

Looks like a British Petroleum (BP) ad...portion of green starburst logo in upper right corner. So could be a British car, maybe. I think it looks nifty and could be a fun project to undertake, kind of like the guy that has an old Mini Cooper LS1.

I think it's a Morris Biner. They made a tiny pick up truck model too but I might be wrong.

It's a Turbo charged Nissan! just like the GTR! OK not that much like the GTR but hey....... Have been quite a few imported into the UK and have become a quite a cult, cute, girly car. The only way you would get a LSX in there is to not have seats!
Here is more info for those that are keen.

Do I win a prize for knowing the car?

Crazy, I figured we were looking at something from the 60's not the 90's. I say find one and try it out. Lsx's have been put in smaller things i'm sure. : )

Like a triumph wagon or a datsun 610 or the triumph in your sig......I say do it and prove them all wrong!

It looks like the offspring of a Nash Metropolitan and a Volvo P1800.
I would hope the P1800 was on top.

There were a few of these on Ebay in the last few years. They would make an amazing LS swap. :cool:

They are fairly recent Nissan Figaros 1990-1992 I believe.
