The Appeal

The Nissan Figaro is one of the most distinctive and charming retro-styled cars to emerge from Japan's "Pike Factory" series of limited production vehicles. With its cute, rounded styling and convertible roof, the Figaro has developed a devoted following far beyond its original Japanese market - only 20,000 were built, with many finding their way overseas. Nowadays, they're near-universally admired as a particularly unique spot of '90s curio.

This Figaro carries the fine Emerald Green 'spring' colour scheme, and arrived in the UK as part of the 'grey market' phenomena when it was still fresh off of the production line. Since then, it's been through only three owners, and now comes to market accompanied by a recent service and an MOT until June 2026.
