A face only a mother could love. An unusual thing, according to the the seller parts are available through Nissan UK - I'm not sure if I would want the burden of a 2004 luxury limo even with that caveat. 

And there was I thinking the 1994–1998 Ford Scorpio was ugly.

Now hang on there.

My step father had two of these back to back. He moved to them after getting sick of being mugged by a succession of Renault Espace's going titsup, especially gearboxes (these were new).  Cheap, slow and agricultural maybe but very reliable.  He's been with the marque ever since.

I do wonder where the the other two rear seats are mind.  And you do get free car washes for a month...

I’m always happy to hear some love for old tat like this. I think their hatred came from exactly what you mention. Cheap, slow and agricultural isn’t what you’re hoping for doing Bristol to Glasgow on a Friday night. I thought the same about the seats, and it is advertised as a 7-seater, but it looks mighty practical as a 5 seater

This is identical to the car my parents had that I learnt to drive in (RIP AF54 XAJ). It was lovely, but always broken and this one seems no different. 
 

Gearbox issues, obvs, random limp home modes that no-one can diagnose and the boot sometimes refuses to close (ours did all three). But, I’d have another. 
 

£300 spares or repairs

You're spot on there mind. It was bought as a local runaround kind of wagon, kids, grand kids (and after retiring early) foster kids and their kids....  and a big daft dog too. There were some longer runs but not many, and I can see that a weekly run between Glasgow and Bristol wouldn't be anticipated with glee and hope.  He moved onto a 7 seat Santa Fe (?) which was a huge leap forward although the rearmost seats were underfloor types and small.

Useful thing this and am I right that the TDI is veg friendly? Comes with one odd wing mirror with a side repeater in, amazing seat fabric and a blue dashboard. I wonder if this was one of the last cars to have a colour matched in non-dreary black dashboard?

Love this. Has had the 1.3 engine swapped for the 1.6 from a Niva and that interior is великолепный. I think from the description, he’s trying to say the front brakes are stuck on? Not sure. Anyway, £1900 (about half it’s new list price in 1986!).

*Inhales*

WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO HAVE AN ENGINE
THAT DIDN'T HAVE A USELESS WATER PUMP
AND DIDN'T EAT ITS TIMING CHAIN FOR BREAKFAST
WHAT'S THIS COOLANT DOING IN THE SUMP

EVEN A ROTARY WOULD BE MUCH BETTER
THAN TWO DOLLY ENGINES GLUED TOGETHER

OH WOULDN'T IT BE NICE IF I COULD SWAP IN
A FORD V6 OR ROVER 3.5
BUT THEN THE STAG'S GODAWFUL WHINY FAN CLUB
WOULD HUNT ME DOWN AND SKIN MY ASS ALIVE

ALL MY TIME AND MONEY I'VE BEEN SPENDING
THIS VALVE ADJUSTMENT JOB IS NEVERENDING

Etc, etc.
