The Appeal

The Nissan Figaro is one of the most endearing Japanese cars of the early 1990s. Produced in a single limited run, its retro-inspired styling, folding roof, and easygoing automatic drivetrain have earned it a loyal following in the UK, where it has become a familiar sight at shows and on summer drives.

This 1991 example benefits from a 2009 respray, giving its distinctive retro styling a fresh and characterful appearance. Having spent the past three years in storage, the car is reported to have started and driven well when last used. It is offered with no outstanding finance and no recorded history of total loss or major structural repairs, presenting an appealing opportunity to bring this charming Figaro back onto the road.
