Nissan Figaro - A rare classic

Blackrock, Cork, County Cork, Ireland

The Nissan Figaro is a two-door 2+2 retro-styled fixed-profile convertible manufactured by Nissan for model year 1991, and originally marketed solely in Japan at their Nissan Cherry Stores.

With its design variously attributed to Naoki Sakai[1] and/or Shoji Takahashi,[2] twenty thousand examples were marketed by Nissan in the convertible's single year of production[3] — all with right hand drive.[4]...The name references the title character in the play The Marriage of Figaro by Pierre Beaumarchais...8000 were originally available with an additional 12,000 added to production numbers to meet demand. Total production of the Figaro finished at 20,073 units.[5] Prospective purchasers entered a lottery to purchase a Figaro. Limited edition cars came with passenger side baskets and cup holders.

I love these Nissan Figaro's and have seen quite a few on the roads here in the UK for many years. Thanks for the information all about them, Frank. This one looks beautiful in red with its white roof and wheels.BV!
