Two former cars of KFW, the middle one with the slots is a different Prairie, it got nicked and burnt out by joyriders. |

Remember as a kid on a campsite in Cornwall seeing one of these converted into a tiny camper. Bet they aren't far from extinct now.

Shame I can't find any photo of dad's old one, must photoshop it one day. An early one bought new. Plain white. He probably had the badges off after a day.
The original seats were rediculously flat & replaced with Toyota items in the front, & better radio/speakers ftted that certainly didn't have to try hard to visibly move the flat door skins.
Slightly bigger 14"(?) steel wheels covered by custom white flat plastic 'salt' style covers.
Custom fiberglass front air-dam under the front bumper with air intake slits, to make up for the white panel work that replaced Nissan's grille, and blended smoothly with custom wrap-around headlamp covers.
Obviously with the full white-out & 'aero' smoothing it was very '80's futuristic. Even the remaining original interior was silvery grey. Though it would have shared the garage with the Citroen CX.

I used to own an F plate Prairie, was given to me for nowt, did nothing with it, listed it on here for 50 quid and had no takers, then out of the blue a friend of my neighbour knocked on the door not knowing i was desperate to get rid of it and asked if he could make a cheeky offer of 500 quid for it, i nearly bit his hand off!, not taxed since 2010 so I'm guessing it met it's maker

I remember Dad looking at new ones in the 80's. The showroom example was a shonky heap with falling off trim. He bought a Talbot Matra Rancho instead. I wish we still had that but equally I'd like a Prairie too.

I would imagine the value of Kev's old one was somewhat affected by massive hole hacked into the floor for the exhaust to come through. |
