I first saw a Nissan Figaro on the A3 near Guildford around 2005 - a strange looking little grey convertible that just grew on me on the rare occasions I saw them. There were a limited number made in 1991 - for the Japanese market only - but in recent years a few of these old cars have found their way to the UK. During an unplanned stay in hospital, I finally convinced myself to get one of my own if I survived - it had to be grey, my only truly cool colour for a Figaro.
