Nissan Rasheen

Love it or loathe it? What do guys think of this little soft roader? Anybody got one. I thought it looked promising with the lil 1.5 PI engine and boxy styling.

Aye up Mav, Looks like it was designed in the 60's!!!

Not my cup of tea! reminds me of a nasty old Volvo.

i have had a look on ebay and it reminds me of years ago when my dad was a member of a 2 stroke car club and had all kinds of wacky machines! most notably Wartburg estates this isn’t the same but reminds me of the era and the style!

try this for a wartburg comparison pic: http://www.kolumbus.fi/ekaurane/1-3-1.jpg

I keep seeing tham for sale and to be honest cannot make up my mind. Think I'd like to see one close up or drive to fully understand.

It does resemnble a Volvo amazon, also a Lada and other vehicles too.

Have a look at the X trail too thats not far removed!!

I used to have a bond bug years ago but i never got it to go properly!

they are still (barely) legal as they are trikes but sadly all the two stroke cars of the past are now no longer with us!

I`m sure OXO had a similar model 8O Yeah Rasheen is Lada Volvo all rolled into one. Wonder how the spares would go and if it shares engine etc with other Nissans. For the money it could be a useful runabout........maybe 35mpg and not bad room in it ......Better than an overpriced Freelander?
