What is the Figaro?

The Figaro is Nissan's exciting concept car. The Figaro has a 1960/70 retro bodystyle with matching interior, instruments and radio, but with a total of 90's specification including power steering, power windows, full air conditioning, CD player, auto box coupled to Nissan 1.0 litre engine, total Nissan Micra running gear. This car turns heads wherever it goes.

This car is already a sought after classic  in Europe and Japan. Manufactured in very limited numbers (20,000 to be exact) in 1991, designed by Shoji Takahashi, the Figaro was sold by way of an allocation raffle in Japan due to  overwhelming demand.  Today, these cars have a cult following  which will ensures that the depreciation is always minimal and may even appreciate in value in the not to distant future due to the small amount of cars made. We have seen the  Figaro increase in price on the Japanese market over the last 6 months, its becoming the car all the fashionable ladies want to be seen in around Tokyo.

When Nissan announced that it would only be building 20,000 of these cars they was immediately swamped with potential customers - indeed it was over-subscribed by no less the 16 times. Now quite a few Figaro's are arriving in the UK. They make an ideal city cars and a strong fashion statement.

So what's the appeal of a Figaro? Retro styling is accompanied by chrome literally everywhere, from the slim-line bumpers to the external boot hinges, and from the hub caps to the victorian cutlery-style toggle switches. Even the retro-look radio is chromed, until you discover that it's actually a CD player as well.
