1987 Nissan BE-1

This Nissan Be-1 is a well-preserved example, showing 88,680 km (55,103 miles). As part of Nissan’s Pike Factory series, it represents one of the brand’s most distinctive design eras, alongside models like the Figaro, Pao, and S-Cargo. Powered by the MA10S engine and paired with an automatic transmission, this front-wheel-drive setup offers simple, easygoing drivability. The focus here leans more toward character and design than outright performance. The BE-1 features a minimalist, retro-inspired layout, including a slicktop roof, crank windows, and a clean, functional interior. This example presents well inside and out, and retains working air conditioning along with its original charm. With approximately 10,000 units produced between 1987 and 1988, the BE-1 remains a rare and recognizable piece of Nissan’s design history.
